On September 15, private practice dentists and their teams from across North America will assemble in Provo, Utah, to exercise mind, body, and spirit at the 20th Annual Dentists’ Climb For A Cause (CFAC) event.

The 20th annual Climb for a Cause continuing education event will begin on September 15 at 2 p.m. with a dental technology symposium hosted at Banyan’s Provo, Utah, headquarters. Attendees qualify to receive four hours of AGD PACE-approved CE.

“Because we wanted our 20th annual event to be something to remember, this year’s event took even more planning and preparation than usual," said Daniel A. "Danny" Bobrow, CFAC’s executive director and AIM Dental Marketing’s president. "I think everyone who attends will agree it was worth it. This year’s event offers something for everyone.

"There’s the opportunity to rub elbows with some of the leaders in dental marketing and practice management technology who will share some of the most cost-effective, actionable skills to ensure patient data integrity, immunize against corporate dentistry, and have fun doing it. Then there’s the hike itself—one of the most spectacular yet. Best of all is the knowledge that, with every step, you’re helping make a positive impact in the lives of thousands of needy children.”

Here are the CFAC 20 timeline of events and activities:
