It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Craig Dickson, VP/group publisher of the dental group at Endeavor Business Media. For 27 years Craig has played an integral role in the growth of the RDH and DE platforms. He began his journey in the mid-1990s in sales, and through his accomplishments moved into a management position and was promoted to publisher in 2000. Understanding the dental hygiene community, he introduced the RDH Under One Roof conference in 2001.

What if there was a better way?

It’s no secret that dental hygiene is a great career. Dental hygienists have high earning potential, good working hours, and are in demand. According to U.S. News & World Report, dental hygiene ranked number three on the best health care support jobs in 2023.

It will be offered on Saturday, May 18, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. The entire team is invited! And there's a discount if you sign up now or sign up multiple team members.
