2020 Southwest Conference and Expo
WELCOME to the annual DLAT SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE & EXPO!
The DLAT Board of Directors wants to thank each of you, our Great Vendors and Our Fellow Dental Lab colleagues for making the last year a great success.
You spoke and we listened!
- Vendor Day with table clinics has been a huge success and is back by popular demand.
- New Hotel Venue with plenty of parking, restaurants & shopping nearby makes it a family fun weekend.
- We believe this location will allow us to grow the meeting with your help and add that TEXAS flair we have all come to enjoy & expect.
As always, Our Valued Attendees, Vendors & Sponsors make for a super meeting. Our hope is that this 2020 DLAT Conference & Expo will reconnect with friends, refresh & enhance your technical-professional experience & help re-energize your business across this state and nation.
The Dental Laboratory Association of Texas
Sincerely,
Your 2019/2020 DLAT Board of Directors
