LIVE and IN-PERSON: Elvis Dahl at LMT Lab Day Chicago: Using Your Awkwardness to Market Your Lab Saturday 9:45am - 10:45am Acapulco Room · West Tower, Ballroom (Gold) Level (https://lmtmag.com/seminars/using-your-awkwardness-to-market-your-lab) We love us some labs that have a rich family story behind them. Barksdale Dental Lab (https://barksdaledentallab.com/) is the newest lab to share their family's history. Betty and Steve Barksdale opened their lab in 1980. They made sure two things were always done, good quality work done right and to always treat their technicians like family. Blake Barksdale joined the lab during high school and pushed the lab to improve workflow and efficiency by adapting to digital technology. Betty and Blake talk about the history of the lab, how they find and retain technicians, and name drop all the wonderful people in our industry that has helped along the way.
