The Implant Overdenture Symposium
Ankur A Gupta, DDS
So many dentists either hate dentures, are intimidated by implants, or both. In a world where the average patient simply isn't satisfied with a traditional removable prosthesis, every dentist needs to feel comfortable providing the magic of implant stability combined with the affordability of removables. This is the conference where participants can finally gain high level confidence in all scenarios from marketing to patients who are dissatisfied with their ill-fitting dentures to hearing that final satisfying click as they deliver the final product.
Implant overdentures are the perfect middle-ground for patients suffering from partial or full edentulism. They are stable, comfortable, functional, and affordable. They are also incredibly gratifying and profitable for the providing dental team. The problem is, they are also complicated. This conference aims to eliminate the mysteries of attachments, cuff heights, retention caps, drivers, and all the other stuff that make this stressful and burdensome. This conference is ideal for entire dental teams.

BRONKAR LEE &
AARON WILLIAMS
Collision of Rhythm is a duo comprised of tap-dancing classical virtuoso, Aaron Williams, and beatbox-juggling keynote speaker, Bronkar Lee.
They have worked with companies like GoPro, CocaCola, and Google, and have been featured on The Tonight Show, America’s Got Talent, and SuperBowl commercials. Both have achieved internet fame with “rhythmic” viral videos — Aaron, through his virtuosic rendition of Mario on Marimba (over 100 million views), and Bronkar, as the Beatbox Dad, through a video of him beatboxing with his son (over 250 million views). Aaron and Bronkar first performed together on stage in a completely improvised moment during a TEDx event in Hollywood in 2013.
They met backstage and knew they were musical soul brothers. Since then, they’ve performed entertainment shows, led educational outreach workshops, and given keynotes on collaboration and teamwork all across the U.S.
We live in an era of constant transformation, and as the world continues to change, we are constantly looking for ways to not only keep up -- but to stay ahead. No matter what our organizational goals are, the key element in making them happen is still the human beings.
The way that we, as humans, collaborate and communicate can make all the difference between success and failure.
Much like musicians performing a song, everyone benefits exponentially from staying in sync, keeping in tune, and remaining in tempo with each other. In this session, world-class performers, viral video stars, award-winning facilitators, and virtuosic musicians Bronkar Lee and Aaron Williams will share the secrets of extraordinary collaboration.
You’ll learn how to:
• Level up your communication skills for a more effective exchange of ideas
• Leverage and build upon your unique skill set to increase the value of your contributions
• Build a culture that identifies a hidden opportunity, realizes potential, and thrives when working together

Motivational Musicals) for schools, prisons and workplace conferences that encourage people to believe in themselves, cultivate respect for others, work together and live their best life.

Simon’s words touch your heart as his music touches your soul, and it’s impossible to be uninspired by his transformational energy and joy.
