Educational Opportunities

Discover new products, promotions and initiatives!

Tuesday, January 20 & Wednesday, January 21

New to the Dental Forum this year, the Equipment Presentations offer a focused look at the latest innovations in both small and large (capital) equipment. These sessions are designed to help dealers stay informed, strengthen product knowledge, and connect directly with the suppliers shaping today’s dental technology landscape.

Small Equipment Presentations
Dealers from both the merchandise and equipment segments will come together for these presentations, creating a unified setting to learn about products that bridge both categories. Vendors will share key features, benefits, and selling points in a group format, followed by opportunities for one-on-one demonstrations during scheduled breaks. It’s an ideal environment for hands-on exploration and deeper conversations.

Large (Capital) Equipment Presentations
Authorized equipment dealers will participate in dedicated classroom-style presentations focused on major equipment solutions and programs. These sessions are designed for in-depth learning and strategic discussions. Later in the day, vendors will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with individual dealers—allowing for personalized follow-up, product clarification, and targeted business planning.

Tuesday, January 20  |  4:00 – 6:00 pm

There’s something for everyone at this year’s Showcase. Prospective vendors, service partners, and long-standing suppliers will be on hand to highlight new products, emerging trends, and innovative solutions designed to fuel meaningful growth for your business in the year ahead.

Dealers are encouraged to explore every table—discover new opportunities, reconnect with trusted partners, and uncover insights that can elevate your offerings and strengthen your competitive edge. Whether you’re looking to expand your product mix, improve operational efficiency, or simply stay ahead of the curve, this is the place to make it happen.

Wednesday, January 21 & Thursday, January 22

The Face-to-Face Rotations continue to be a signature experience at the Dental Forum—an efficient, high-energy format designed to spark meaningful conversations and build stronger partnerships. This year, the event offers a dedicated focus on merchandise, with dealers hosting tables as vendors rotate at set intervals to discuss products, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

This streamlined format ensures every participant has the time and space to connect, share insights, and explore new possibilities. Whether you’re highlighting fresh solutions or strengthening existing relationships, these rotations provide a purposeful environment to deepen collaboration and drive success throughout the year.
