CERE: New and dynamic CONVERGE in 2014. You don’t want to miss what we have to offer!

Dear Colleague:

On behalf of the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP), it is our pleasure to invite you to the 26th annual conference and exhibits, CONVERGE 2014, September 15-18 at the Omni Orlando Resort in Championsgate, FL. Building upon the success of exhibitors and sponsors in 2013, NADP is bringing a new and captivating conference this year with tons of new features and offerings as we bring together the leading experts and decision-makers in the dental benefits industry for 2.5 days of education, networking and 2 days of exhibition.

At CONVERGE 2014, you can showcase your products and services to the CEOs and leading executives in the industry in our new and engaging exhibit hall, The Discovery Zone. Because NADP represents more than 90% of the dental benefits industry, you will easily be able to reach your target market at our conference. Don’t miss out on this excellent promotional opportunity for your company!

WHAT’S NEW IN 2014?• The Discovery Zone – an enhanced exhibit experience featuring a variety of opportunities to connect with clients.• Informal “lounges” where attendees can recharge in close proximity to all exhibitors in the Discovery Zone.• Small stages within The Discovery Zone designed for short presentations and product demonstrations by exhibitors.• Dedicated Discovery Zone time – no competing breakout sessions during this dedicated time to increase foot traffic and

leads.• Exhibitors can now schedule client appointments in the Discovery Zone during the hours the Zone is closed for breakout

sessions.• New sponsorship opportunities available to allow further engagement with key buyers.• Walk-around luncheon (there will be no speaker/presentation and no chairs) which will encourage attendees to visit booths.• NADP has hired a dedicated Discovery Zone floor manager who will be available to assist you before, during and after the

show.

Please take a moment to review the enclosed CONVERGE 2014 Sponsor and Exhibitor Prospectus that includes all of the necessary details to get involved. Space and opportunities are limited. Please contact Shayne Leatherwood today to reserve your space at 972-458-6998 x 102.
