NexTech AR's Virtual Experience Platform to power virtual Ontario Dental Association conference

Nextech AR Solutions Corp (OTCQB:NEXCF) (NEO:NTAR) (CSE:NTAR) (FRA:N29) announced Wednesday that the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) has chosen the company’s Virtual Experience Platform (VXP) to host this year’s virtual Annual Spring Meeting (ASM21) on May 6-8. 

The ODA represents more than 10,000, or roughly 9 in 10, dentists in the province, and ASM21 is considered its signature event of the year, the company said. The organization required a robust all-in-one solution to host every component of the virtual conference under one platform. 

That’s where the NexTech VXP comes in. Using the virtual platform, attendees will have access to fully interactive discussions with speakers and keynotes, scalable-secure video-streaming, chat and a number of augmented reality (AR) experiences.

The AR includes an interactive exhibit floor for event sponsors, which helps bring an in-person atmosphere to the experience, the company said. The ODA anticipates around 150 exhibitors for the 2021 show, representing dental manufacturers, distributors and retailers of all sizes from around the globe.

Additionally, many ASM21 attendees will be working to earn continuing education (CE) credits during the event, the company said, a process that can be challenging to translate to a fully virtual environment. 

NexTech’s VXP will utilize AI to track attendee journeys through ASM21’s 50+ sessions and virtual workshops to allow for seamless administration of CE credits throughout the event.

“The ODA’s Annual Spring Meeting is one of the most respected dental conventions in North America and we are delighted to partner with them for this year’s event,” NexTech CEO Evan Gappelberg said in a statement. “Our platform is not just a virtual event platform but a highly secure experiential platform and our partnership with the ODA is just one of the latest examples of how our proprietary features give us a competitive edge, allowing us to beat out our competition again and again in the multibillion-dollar virtual events market.”
