AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION CONVENES WITH CONFIDENCE AT MANDALAY BAY

· It's a busy time for conventions and conferences in Las Vegas. Gatherings continue at MGM Resorts properties -- all in line with current health and safety guidelines set forth by the state of Nevada.

· This past week, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hosted thousands of attendees for the American Dental Association's SmileCon.

· Organizers opted to use Convene with Confidence's optional multi-layered screening process to enhance health and safety protocols for the conference. This included vaccine verification and rapid, on-site molecular COVID-19 testing with results delivered in approximately 20 minutes.

· Since June 2020, MGM Resorts has hosted more than 1,500 meetings under the Convene with Confidence umbrella.#

· John Flynn, VP of Administration, MGM Resorts: "This conference had 7-8,000 attendees. It's great to bring in partners like the American Dental Association, who we've been working with for the past several months. They were very focused on the health and safety protocols. From all the feedback we've been getting, it was very well received and a very successful conference.  What this says for us at MGM Resorts is that the future is bright. We look forward to hosting more and more of these conferences and we look forward to seeing the number of attendees and registrations continue to increase in the weeks and months ahead."
