Growth Is Getting More Complex.
Margins are under pressure. Technology is advancing faster than many DSOs can implement. Workforce shortages persist, and a more selective capital market is changing how leadership teams approach acquisitions, financing and investment.
You don’t need more industry predictions. You need to know what’s actually working.
At Enterprise Dental Connect 2027, DSO executives share the strategies, investments and operational changes delivering results across their businesses, alongside what hasn’t worked and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Oral Surgery Breakout Rooms
How do you scale across locations without losing what makes your surgeons great? Our new OMS breakouts bring oral surgery group leaders and multi-specialty DSO executives together to tackle the enterprise decisions behind growth, consistency, safety, technology and talent. Not a clinical education conference. A room built for the people running oral surgery at scale.
The 2027 Program

Technology & Innovation
