SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Henry Schein DSO Education Forum 2020
DESCRIPTION:Henry Schein has officially released their plans for the highly anticipated DSO Education Forum\, taking place May 1-2\, 2020 at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas\, NV. \nLast year’s event drew over 700 attendees\, from over 165 group practices and DSOs between the US and Canada\, and over 4\,000 brick & mortar dental practices were represented\, making it one of the nation’s largest DSO events of the year. \nHenry Schein has assembled an extraordinary lineup of over a dozen speakers (see list below) who will speak within two unique educational tracks: \n\nNational & Emerging DSO: Speakers will focus on best practices\, scalability as well as legal and regulatory compliance.\nLeadership Development: Leadership is 2020! Speakers will focus on leadership principles and best practices to incorporate into your business.\n\n \nThe 2020 Keynote Speaker will be Patrick Lencioni\, Founder and President of The Table Group\, and renowned business author. Patrick’s passion for organizations and teams is reflected in his writing\, speaking and executive consulting. He is the author of eleven best-selling books with over five million copies sold. His capstone book\, The Advantage\, is the pre-eminent source on organizational health. After sixteen years in print\, his classic book\, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team\, remains a weekly fixture on national best-seller lists. Released in 2016\, The Ideal Team Player is a much-anticipated follow-up to his team book and also a Wall Street Journal best-seller. \nNational & Emerging DSO Track Speakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Roshan Parikh (or “Dr. Ro” as he is known in the industry) is the Head of Dentistry for Walmart Health.  He joined Walmart in 2019 to help develop and roll out a strategic roadmap for their dental services\, focusing in particular on dental-medical integration and increasing access to care\, offering customers new ways to save money\, while living better –and healthier– lives. Dental is part of Walmart Health’s overall investment in health and wellness\, and Dr. Ro will refine the long-term strategy to grow their focus in dentistry\, working closely with Merchandising and Operations to map their current presence in dental and help build the right organization and approach to best serve their customers. He is a proud graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) – College of Dentistry.  In addition to his DDS degree\, he also obtained a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Loyola University with dual emphases in finance and marketing.  Previously\, Dr. Ro grew a single practice into Chicagoland Smile Group\, a 20+ network of multi-specialty dental group practices with >75 dentists and dental specialists.  He also founded the dental consulting firm DSO Strategy\, LLC\, helping entrepreneurial dentists strategize a growth plan for their dental group practices and create an investable platform for institutional capital. Dr. Ro is a contributing writer to Group Dentistry Now and sits on Group Dentistry Now’s Editorial Board. Dr. Ro’s passion lies in building functional and strategically patient-centric business models that help providers to be both first-rate caregivers as well as successful businesses\, and he is thrilled at the opportunity to help that philosophy come to light in a nationwide operation as he joins the team at Walmart Health as their Head of Dentistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Sulman Ahmed is the Founder and CEO of DECA Dental. He is instrumental in shaping and overseeing DECA Dental’s growth\, strategy and culture. In 2008\, Dr. Ahmed opened his first dental office and set out to create a truly patient centered model. His belief in putting patients first is the fundamental backbone of DECA Dental’s core values and patient care delivery model. Ensuring adequate training for doctors\, the very best materials being placed in the patient’s mouth\, weekend hours and multiple specialists working under one roof are just the beginning of his vision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Huff is the Chief Integration Officer at MB2 Dental\, a Dental Partnership Organization (DPO)\, and an active and influential member of the dental community with 20 years of rich experience in the dental industry. Susan’s diverse roles working for private practice\, a DSO\, and MB2 Dental\, have led her to her current position\, where she’s been instrumental in supporting a new type of offering built for dentists by dentists.

SUMMARY:What Great Dentists Actually Want From A DSO Partner - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join Chip Fichtner\, Founder of Large Practice Sales for a special one-hour interactive discussion on January 19th\, 2021 from 4pm to 5pm EST. \nLarge Practice Sales has advised doctors and DSOs on hundreds of millions of dollars of larger dental practice transactions in the last couple of years. Whether your DSO calls them purchases\, partnerships or transitions\, LPS has seen dozens of structures\, valuation metrics and acquisition growth strategies. LPS knows which groups pay less\, which pay more\, and why. \nBecause LPS “sells” their doctor clients to dozens of existing DSOs\, and to new investors eager to profit from the dental practice consolidation boom\, LPS has a very unique\, insider knowledge. If you would like to learn how to most effectively acquire the best\, larger practices for your DSO\, or build your very own DSO\, join us for one hour of entertainment with Live Q&A. \n \nIMPORTANT NOTE: LPS is unique in the industry in that they are only compensated by their clients\, the dentists. LPS does not charge nor accept fees from buyers. Old fashioned\, but it works! LPS can effectively become a DSO’s or investors’ BizDev team at no cost. \nWARNING: DSOs\, PE firms\, family offices and SBICs to which LPS has sold practices in the last decade should probably NOT attend this webinar. They may be be telling stories about YOU. They will not use real names\, but you will recognize the stories.
