2026 DSO Tech Summit: Optimization & Trust
The Next Chapter in Dental Technology Leadership

Presented by Sunset Technologies

Over the last five years, the DSO Tech Summit has guided the industry from foundational security and integration to responsible AI adoption. In 2026, we enter a new phase where maturity meets scrutiny.

As DSOs and group practices face tighter margins and platform fatigue, this year’s theme challenges technology and operations leaders to get honest:
  • Are we using what we’ve already invested in to its fullest?
  • Can we trust the partners, platforms, and data decisions shaping our future?
  • How do we cut through noise, sprawl, and hype to focus on meaningful outcomes?
Optimization
Challenges us to do more with what we have. It means reducing tool sprawl, increasing ROI, and making smarter, more aligned tech stack decisions.

Trust

Pushes us to examine the promises of AI, automation, and cloud platforms. It asks us to consider not just the outcomes, but also the governance, partnerships, and accountability behind the technology.

This year’s summit will focus on refinement over reinvention. Instead of asking what’s next, we’ll focus on what’s real and what works.
An Intentionally Intimate Experience

Our summit is designed to be small on purpose. This curated size enables a level of access, interaction, and honesty that just doesn’t happen at traditional conferences.

No booths. No badge scans. No separation between attendees, vendors, or speakers. Everyone is in the same room, solving the same problems together. That’s the kind of environment where real trust is built.
