    This is such a great conference and I love TED talks. Mr. Bashinelli’s background may make him the most interesting keynote speaker of all time:) Indeed “three is better than one” especially when it comes to sharing knowledge and expertise over something as important and dental health and business growth. This is going to be a valuable conference to better understand the whole dental world.
