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