Some 52,000 dental professionals gathered for the 2014 Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM), the largest dental meeting in the U.S., during mild weather for the Big Apple. With a number of continuing education seminars and scores of vendors, the conference continues to be one of the most important dental meetings.

The light-filled Jacob K. Javits Convention Center reflected a New York attitude and was like being in a giant glass greenhouse. Languages from around the world could be heard among the international group of dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, and vendors.
Carrie B. Brown, DMD, of Lexington, KY, and president-elect of the National Dental Association, sported a big smile and a bright outfit while greeting friends and GNYDM attendees.
Among the hundreds of vendor displays in the cavernous main showroom, many featured colorful and whimsical operatory equipment, such as this Raffy giraffe-themed intraoral radiography system from Villa Sistemi Medicali's Kids line in the TriState Dental booth.
Many vendors showcased impressive and elaborate displays, including this one highlighting Henry Schein's wide range of products. The company's showcase is always one of the biggest at dental conventions.
The Philips display showcased giant versions of its Sonicare AirfFoss Pro and DiamondClean rechargeable electric toothbrush, which are always attention-getters.
Among the thousands of eye-catching vendor displays, Midmark's brightly colored chartreuse and banana yellow dental chairs added flair to the wide range of operatory furnishings.
