ANNUAL HOUSTON ASDA VENDOR FAIR
August 22rd 2023 5-8PM
Thank you for your interest in participating in the annual Houston ASDA Vendor Fair. This year the meeting will be held at the COOLEY CENTER connected to the UT HEALTH SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY. Vendors will have the opportunity to interact with students throughout the evening at booths set up to promote themselves. We thank everyone who attended for the first time last year and those who continue to support our chapter from year to year. We truly appreciate your continued involvement with our school and students.
As an organization centered around our students, UTSD Houston ASDA is committed to educating our members, serving the community, and supporting all aspects of organized dentistry. Part of our mission to educate members is to send a large number of students to national meetings such as ASDA Annual Session, National Leadership Conference, and district meetings. All contributions from our biggest fundraiser, the Vendor Fair, directly support this cause and our community service events.
If you have any questions regarding the Vendor Fair, please contact our Events Coordinator, Cesar Zapata (cesar.zapata@uth.tmc.edu).
