CDS Midwinter Meeting 2025 gets underway

“The Midwinter Meeting is a must-experience event for every dental professional, and the energy of the event is inspirational. There is nowhere else where one can find hundreds of top-tier continuing education courses, networking opportunities with tens of thousands of peers and more than 450 companies debuting their latest innovations—all in one convenient location,” she continued.

The programme for today offers numerous networking opportunities, such as the Dental Student Reception and the Early Career & New Dentist Reception, both providing a relaxed setting for professional connections. A new exhibition feature this year, the Dental Innovation Lab (Booth 1743), provides a dedicated space for exploring the latest advancements in dental technology and practice solutions. Today’s highlights also include the keynote session by visionary chef Grant Achatz, who will share his powerful story of overcoming Stage IV tongue cancer (at 16:30–17:30).

Tomorrow, attendees can look forward to the popular Sips, Suds & Sales event, where they can enjoy refreshments while exploring the exhibition floor for great deals. Tomorrow will also mark a special anniversary: Hadley the Hound, the CDS mascot, is celebrating his tenth birthday with a gathering at the Experience CDS booth (3608) at 15:15.

On Saturday, the second annual Great Oral Health Pitch returns, offering a platform for innovators and entrepreneurs to present their ideas in a dynamic competition. Running from 9:00 to 12:00, this event is designed to foster innovation in oral healthcare, and industry experts will provide invaluable feedback to participants.
