RDH Event

March 27, 2009
Attendees at fourth virtual dental hygiene conference spend a record 2.1 hours attending CE seminars, visiting exhibitors, or social networking.

RDH Event, the online dental hygiene conference, was hosted March 12-14. The conference was highlighted by a virtual keynote address by Gary Zelesky, who performed a similar function two years ago during the RDH Under One Roof conference in Washington, D.C.

Attendees at the March RDH Event spent an average of 2.1 hours at the online conference, the highest average of any virtual conference hosted by PennWell thus far. The attendance for RDH Event was 849.

Zelesky led off a parade of presenters that included Janette Delinger, RDH, Gail Malone, RDH, and Drs. Angelo Mariotti, and Maria Ryan. In addition, Kristine Hodsdon, RDH, and Dianne Glasscoe, RDH, led live chat sessions where early arrivals received coupons for free coffee or ice cream.

The seminars at RDH Event will be archived for the next 60 days and attendees may visit exhibits and take the CE throughout that time period.
