DentalForum UK draws a record crowd and industry leaders

The agenda of the two-day event featured a mix of keynote presentations, informal networking and DentalForum’s signature one-to-one speed meetings, scheduled to match delegates’ interests. Sam Waley-Cohen, founder and chairman of dental care group PortmanDentex, chaired the conference, which included a fireside chat between Zak Smith, non-executive director of the Labyrinth dental laboratory group, and Jeffrey Tomcsik, CEO of Grand Dental Group in Chicago in the US, who shared insights on scaling and selling dental businesses.

Other highlights included a presentation by healthcare operations software provider Agilio Software and a market update from expert dental consultancy Dental Elite. On the second day, Waley-Cohen and Tomcsik were joined by Dr Dev Patel, founder and CEO of Dental Beauty Partners dental group, for an open discussion on growth and clinician incentivisation strategies. Additionally, Straumann Group led an engaging session on building strategic partnerships.

The forum concluded with a 1970s-themed celebration hosted by DEXIS and Nobel Biocare.
