A look ahead to the upcoming Dentistry Show.

A dental event that the whole team will enjoy and the perfect opportunity to gain valuable education and experience, The Dentistry Show, taking place on Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, is the place for all dental
professionals to be.
Having consistently grown since its inception in 2009, The Dentistry Show expects a record high 7,500 delegates this year. Held alongside the Dental Technology Showcase (DTS), this will ensure hugely varied networking opportunities for all, enabling you to meet old friends and new from all corners of the profession.
Renowned for its atmosphere, speaker line-up and diverse learning opportunities, The Dentistry Show is one of the few completely free events on the dental calendar. Visitors will have access to a 400-strong trade exhibition hosting the top dental manufacturers and suppliers from around the world. The educational programmes will be bursting with insight and fresh ideas, with sessions presented by world-class speakers such as John Kanca, Luca Dalloca, Walter Davoto, Chris Orr, Martin Trope, Sheila Scott, and many more.
 
New dates – last year, 69 per cent of 756 dentists who had not attended the show in 2014 or 2013 said they were likely or very likely to visit if the event moved to April. So to enable even more professionals to attend, the event this year will be held on Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, at the central location of the NEC in Birmingham.
 
Launchpad UK – following the global launches at IDS, the very latest products, materials and technologies to reach the UK will be unveiled from leading dental suppliers. Visitors to the show will be able to get to grips with an array of cutting-edge innovations, with experts available to provide first-chance hands-on opportunities, as well as all the information needed.
 
Dental Awards 2015 – having fun with friends has always been an important aspect of The Dentistry Show, and this year the event is host to the prestigious Dental Awards on the Friday evening. Visitors can let their hair down at this glittering black-tie gala dinner and enjoy a four-course meal and great entertainment while celebrating
outstanding individuals and teams whose commitment continues to raise the bar in UK dentistry.
 
Dental Update Study Day – the day will offer delegates the chance to listen to and learn from some of the finest experts on the Dental Update editorial board including Professor Trevor Burke, Professor Avijit Banerjee, Professor Crispian Scully and Professor Jonathan Sandler.
 
EndoLounge – designed in association with the British Endodontic Society, this lounge will provide an update on the latest clinical techniques, materials and research in the field of endodontics.
 
Facial Aesthetics Theatre – in 2014,
18 per cent of attendees were looking to source research, products and services in the field of facial aesthetics. Delivered in association with CCR, this new programme will explore the latest clinical techniques and products in the area to help dentists deliver safe and effective treatment for all their patients.
 
Association of Dental Administrators and Managers – attending the event for the first time, the team from the association will be available on the Professional Hub and within the new Practice Management Today panel in
the Dental Business Theatre, helping practice managers streamline their daily process.
 
Compliance Clinic – hosted by the experts at Apolline, this theatre will offer a vast array of practical hints and tips to ensure regulation compliance for all practices.
 
Village Green with Bridge2Aid - the charity will this year host a ‘Village Fete’ with traditional games such as ‘test your strength’ strongman and ‘hook a duck’, as well as a Willy Wonka ice-cream stand. Find out more about what Bridge2Aid does and how you can get involved while having great fun at stand E60.
