This week we talk to two people from Nowak Dental Supplies (https://www.nowakdental.com/) that are bringing the conference/party of the year to New Orleans in November. Brandi Nowak is one half of the owners and she tells the story of starting in 2000. Taking over her grandfather's legacy that started in the 40s, she has helped the company become what it is today. At the beginning of 2025, they brought on Marybeth Starr to help them grow even more. Marybeth is a veteran of the vendor side of dental laboratories and brings experience to get the job done. Together they have put together NOLA Lab Fest (https://www.nolalabfest.com/) that is happening in New Orleans on November 7 & 8. This is a must attend event because it is going to be what these two are, fun. Register today at: https://www.nolalabfest.com/ THANK YOU to Aidite (https://www.aidite.com/) for sponsoring us!
