Work trip to Hawaii for Dental Tribune

Earlier this month I went on a work trip to Hawaii, to cover the American Dental Association annual convention for Dental Tribune. We published three issues of an at-show newspaper, distributed on site at the convention center in Honolulu.

For one of my articles, I interviewed the president of a dental supply company about a new product that can treat cavities without any drilling.

Before the event got started, I got to spend a few days of vacation time on Maui, and after the work commitment ended I spent two more days exploring Oahu with my co-worker, Kristine.

Tom Brokaw offers a speech at the American Dental Association Annual Session

I just got back from San Antonio, where the American Dental Association held its Annual Session. I was one of the editors on site to cover the event for Dental Tribune. We published three issues of our at-show publication.

Tom Brokaw offered the keynote address, and I attended his talk and took pictures for an article on Page 1 of our daily paper. I also conducted interviews with executives from two of the exhibiting companies and wrote articles about each.

Here are pictures of the pages as they appeared in print. If you click they will open bigger:

California Dental Association event in Anaheim

Earlier this month I went to Anaheim, Calif., for work, to cover the California Dental Association conference for dentists. I was one of the editors who helped publish an at-show newspaper for Dental Tribune.

I interviewed a dentist who invented a tool to help make for tooth extractions easier for dentists and patients, I conducted “man-on-the-street” interviews with several of the attendees, and I wrote up a wine-tasting event. See below for my articles, as they appeared in print.

For the wine-tasting article, fans of the Rolling Stones might catch the reference to one of the lyrics from the Exile on Main Street album in the headline.
