SCN's 2009 Land and SunFun Cruise Seminar not only brought together some of our nation's best speakers and consultants in the US, but was fortunate to have representation from Australia and Canada. The SCN Members met in Ft. Lauderdale February 17-18 to share, learn and recharge. The networking was incredible as these seasoned professionals freely shared their growth experiences with new members to SCN.
Some of the dental industry's leading vendors sent representatives to educate and inform this very select group of dental professionals. Attending as well were VIP editors from dental magazines and speaking scouts from state and major dental meetings such as the Hinman.
After two days of extensive classes and workshops on land, the conference attendees and guests boarded the Navigator of the Seas (RCCL's flagship) to set sail for Cozumel, MX. SCN members and guests then joined 450 top dental team members and dentists from leading practices from across the US, making a total of 567 on board. The four day cruise allowed SCN Members networking time with these dental team members and their doctors, sharing their knowledge and expertise with each other. Structured Spotlight on Speaking seminars were held on Friday and Sunday mornings. The afternoons were truly fun in the sun in a more leisure environment enjoying the many amenities on board the fabulous vessel. If anyone missed this incredible CE experience, watch for details for another SunFun Cruise February 10-14, 2011, with Linda Miles as hostess to another exciting dental management cruise.
