I am pleased to present the preliminary program for the 2014 edition of the Journées dentaires internationales du Québec. It is preliminary in that it does not contain all the details on the rooms where the presentations will be given, but almost final in that it lists all the planned lectures and workshops and all the topics to be covered.

As in past years, the convention will be spread out over five days: three pre-convention days for which registration is limited, from Friday to Sunday, and two days of lectures and an exhibition, on Monday and Tuesday.

The highly experienced Organizing Committee members have put together a wide variety of subjects for you this year. The presentations will cover all dentistry disciplines and have been selected to focus on day-to-day concerns in dental practice and our patients’ needs.

I invite you to consult this program, to choose these topics you would like to learn more about and to let us know what you are interested in by pre-registering. That way you will not only guarantee yourself a spot in the limited-access pre-convention courses, but also help us choose the most appropriate rooms for each of the convention lectures.

I look forward to seeing you in May 2014. In the meantime, from one ODQ member to another, please accept my best wishes.

Dates of future Journées dentaires internationales du Québec conventions

The Journées dentaires internationales du Québec (JDIQ) are committed to protecting delegates’ personal information.

The JDIQ use delegates’ personal information only for purposes of organizing the event.

A delegate’s personal information, including name, address, e-mail address and telephone number, and whether or not he or she attended any of the activities organized under the auspices of the JDIQ, will be disclosed only with the delegate’s consent.

Aside from the general consent given when they register (on-line or on paper), delegates will have the opportunity to consent to such disclosure whenever they participate in an activity or training session by presenting their electronic registration badge for reading and validation when they arrive at the conference room:

1. for continuing dental education (CDE) credits, to a JDIQ volunteer. The delegate may consent at that time to having his or her presence, as it is recorded at that point, communicated by the JDIQ following the AGREEMENT to the Ordre des dentistes du Québec or another professional order or association to which he or she belongs, for purposes of allocating CDE credits to his or her file;
   
   
2. for purposes of commercial or philanthropic prospecting, to the representative of a speaker, exhibitor or sponsor. The delegate may consent at that time to having his or her name, telephone number and address communicated to the specific speaker, exhibitor or sponsor. The JDIQ agree to require of their speakers, exhibitors and sponsors that the personal information communicated to them will be used only for the commercial or philanthropic prospecting purposes declared to the JDIQ.

It is agreed that the JDIQ assumes no liability when delegates give their personal information to other parties without the participation/intervention of the JDIQ during the Convention. Furthermore, delegates may give or withdraw their consent for certain purposes at any time, by personally contacting the JDIQ at:
