A Message From GLIDM

To our Doctors and Dental Teams,

We hope this finds you all well, safe and ge ng through these tumultuous mes and naviga ng through
these uncharted waters. This too shall pass and be er days are ahead for us all for sure.

The Planning Board has been working relessly to decide the best outcome for the Greater Long Island
Dental Mee ng and all those involved with our great show. Because there is no vaccine in place,
gatherings of our size cannot take place. Therefore, the idea of a virtual pla orm to replace the “live”
show in September has been studied and reviewed over the past two months. Due to the abundance of
online virtual con nuing educa on, prac ces trying to get back up to speed with some normalcy, as well
as schools and colleges s ll having no concrete plan on how to proceed, the Board decided unanimously
that the GLIDM “virtual” show in September will not take place. Instead we will plan for a “live” mee ng
for 2021, and we are in the process of securing two dates in the months of April and June.

As for Scien fic Sessions, we are working on a program to be spread out over the next several months to
accommodate all those who have already registered and courses will be held in the evening for your
convenience. A list of the speakers/topics will be sent out in the upcoming weeks. Your payments can be
applied to our virtual courses or moved to our 2021 event or refunded.

A contact list of all our devoted Exhibitors will be sent out to everyone for your support. They are here to
serve you and can truly guide you through these difficult mes. GLIDM will be sending out various flyers
from our sponsors with the hope that someone in need can find answers they are seeking. We are all in
this together and we all need to help one another!

The Greater Long Island Dental Mee ng has been existence for over 55 years and will always be here to

serve all our awesome doctors and staff members! If you have any ques ons or concerns, please email
at glidm@aol.com

Looking forward to this all safely passing so that we can all be together again – please stay well and stay
safe and thank you all for your pa ence and understanding!

GLIDM WILL BE BACK – BETTER THAN EVER!!!

Sincerely,

Fran McHugh
Executive Director, GLIDM
