SUMMARY:DSO Tech Summit 2026 - Use Code GDN26 to Save 30%
DESCRIPTION:Registration is Open. Use Code GDN26 to Save 30%\n \n2026 DSO Tech Summit: Optimization & Trust\nThe Next Chapter in Dental Technology Leadership\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Sunset Technologies\n\n\n\n\nOver 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. \nAs DSOs and group practices face tighter margins and platform fatigue\, this year’s theme challenges technology and operations leaders to get honest:\n\nAre we using what we’ve already invested in to its fullest?\nCan we trust the partners\, platforms\, and data decisions shaping our future?\nHow do we cut through noise\, sprawl\, and hype to focus on meaningful outcomes?\n\nOptimization\n\n\n\n\n\nChallenges us to do more with what we have. It means reducing tool sprawl\, increasing ROI\, and making smarter\, more aligned tech stack decisions.\n\n\n\n\nTrust \n\n\n\n\nPushes 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. \nThis 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.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Intentionally Intimate Experience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur 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. \nNo 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. \nRegistration is Open. Use Code GDN26 to Save 30%
