The 2026 Dental Leadership Summit kicks off on Wednesday with a warm welcome to attendees as they check in and settle into the resort. The day is designed for connection and relaxation, beginning with optional outdoor experiences like archery, trail hikes, and horseback riding. As evening falls, guests will gather for an opening reception and networking mixer, setting the tone for three days of collaboration, inspiration, and meaningful conversation.
Thursday, September 17
Thursday, the main event day, is dedicated to leadership, strategy, and the future of dentistry. The morning begins with coffee and connection, followed by a keynote session on the evolving landscape of dental leadership. Breakout sessions throughout the day dive into operations, marketing, and technology, while the much-anticipated DSO Diagnosis Panel brings together industry experts for a candid discussion on the state of group practices. Lunch and networking opportunities give attendees the chance to connect with sponsors and peers, leading into more breakout sessions focused on financial growth, AI, and culture. The day concludes with a lively networking happy hour and an intimate Summit Dinner where insights and ideas flow as freely as the conversation.

The Summit wraps up on Friday with a focus on reflection and application. Attendees will start the day with breakfast alongside industry experts before joining a hands-on workshop designed to help turn fresh ideas into actionable strategies. The morning continues with outdoor team activities bringing balance and camaraderie to the close of the experience. A final lunch and farewell moment allow attendees to leave recharged, reconnected, and ready to lead their practices into the future.
