UDD Annual Meeting Rocks Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN, October 11, 2007 — United Dental Dealers (UDD) hosted their annual meeting, themed, "UDD ROCKS!" in Nashville, TN on Sept. 5-7, 2007 at the Opryland Gaylord Hotel and Resort. The meeting surpassed all prior meeting attendance with 18 distributor member companies and 23 vendors present.
 
The UDD Rocks program further demonstrated the rock-solid strength of this group of individual dental dealers from across the country. The meeting began with a networking event focused on team-building. A highlight included a 32 foot rock-climbing wall. The three fastest climbers were Tony Zaffarese (Marus Dental); Eric Gajeski (Dental City); and Shari Peggs (Dental City). Face-to-Face sessions between distributors and vendor partners occurred during the second day. These rotations gave meaningful time to review sales and build programs to grow business in the upcoming year. The meeting concluded with an Awards Banquet recognizing the key performers during the past year (see list).
