Dental Conferences for Exhibitors

9 conferences · Updated monthly

Dental conferences are among the most commercially productive in healthcare because dentists are both the clinician and the purchasing decision-maker -- there is no procurement department between your booth and the sale. The CDS Midwinter Meeting (21,000+ attendees, Chicago) and Hinman (25,000+, Atlanta) are the two largest. ADA SmileCon has been the national flagship but is ending after 2025, creating a gap that Yankee Dental and regional shows may fill. Booth costs range from $28.87/sqft at AOTA to $45/sqft at ADA. For implant companies specifically, AAID (4,000 attendees, implant-focused) delivers higher buyer concentration than the general shows.
