Testimonial, Julian Perry, Group Commercial Director, mydentist

Well planned and inspirational.  After 31 years in the profession I had thought I had covered most "meeting formats", but without exception this was the most useful dental meeting I have attended. As a "business to supplier"  (B2B)  meeting, we were able to cover a lot of ground that would otherwise have taken months or longer. I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity in the future to attend this event to "grasp the opportunity with both hands".

Testimonial, Anushika Brogan, Managing & Clinical Director, Damira Dental

We managed to make some great connections with industry leading businesses and suppliers, this has led to cost reductions and improved efficiency within my own business, which is great! Alongside our business connections, it was great to also meet so many like-minded professionals from the industry to talk about recent issues and industry updates.

Testimonial, Dominick Flanagan, Co-Founder and Commercial Director, Centre for Dentistry

I attended DentalForum this year. It’s not just about what you learn there, but rather more about the people you meet. Though the program content is powerful on its own, something magical happens when a small tribe of entrepreneurs come together for 2 days who all want to deliver a greater impact in dentistry: shared values, energy, business connections and lifelong friendships.
