This is a call to all <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> attendees to consider taking on a key role at the conference by becoming a Host to one<br />
of our over 100 speakers. Is there a speaker at the conference whom you would like to meet? Becoming a Host provides a perfect<br />
opportunity for you to communicate with your favourite presenter!<br />
The PDC has a reputation among speakers for its hospitality and this is mostly due to the Hosts who help make the speaker’s experience<br />
in Vancouver a pleasant one. It’s a rewarding experience with some perks! If you agree to be a Host, you will be credited your registration<br />
fee following the conference.<br />
What exactly does a Host do?<br />
Hosts are the liaisons between the <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> and the speakers and have the prime responsibility to ensure their stay<br />
and presentation at our meeting is a positive experience. Duties of a host include:<br />
• introducing your speaker at the presentation<br />
• monitoring the presentation<br />

Robert Hicks<br />
Memorial Lecture<br />
As the founding Chairman of the BC <strong>Dental</strong><br />
Meeting, Dr. Robert Hicks started the<br />
meeting format that evolved into today’s<br />
<strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. In 1988, he said<br />
“While the quality of the scientific program<br />
and the dental trade exhibits must justify<br />
the valuable time we set aside to attend<br />
continuing education events, we should<br />
never lose sight of the importance of the<br />
social contact we enjoy when we attend<br />
[the <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>]”.<br />
This philosophy has continued to<br />
foster the growth of the <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Dental</strong><br />
<strong>Conference</strong> to the current day.<br />
It is with respect that we have dedicated<br />
a lecture to honour the experience and<br />
expertise that guided the meeting through<br />
its developing years.<br />
