Foreword
|
|
Founded in October 1988, in Washington DC, USA, as a communication
forum, idm has developed into an autonomous, independent
umbrella organization to globally represent as an association the
common interests of member associations and through them support
the interests of the global dental industry as a whole.
Among the many important activities and missions of idm is the
coordination of international exhibition dates in order to maximize the
efficiency, quality and viability of exhibitions for both the attendees
and the exhibitors. To this end, idm compiles and publishes the global
dental events planner.
Professional organizers can obtain regular updates from this idm web
site.
Presidents and Board Members have in the past willingly given their
time to lead idm to where it is internationally recognized today.

Vision
|

Global representation:
idm, the voice of the Dental Manufacturing Industry to all constituencies
on matters of global concern. When it comes to true global
issues, idm is the group that the industry, or Profession can come to
for guidance.
Create greater awareness to the Profession, our member organizations
and among their member companies.
