“The fantastic thing about this show is that it covers both sides of the industry as we see it. So we're able to have one stand and speak to every single member of the dental team. It's a brilliant opportunity to get your products in front of the correct customers at the right time.”

 

“It’s without a doubt the biggest show, it's the one to be at, lots of familiar faces, lots of people coming over saying hi, so as well as getting some great business done. It's an opportunity to catch up with other associates and meet with new suppliers. Just ticks a lot of boxes.”

 

“These shows are important because we get to see the future clients and see what they need. There's a lot more interaction here compared to other show, we have a wide range of people coming in, we have dentists, technicians, nursing students, and from here we can see exactly what the market needs, and we can try and tailor our next approach to the market.”

 

 

“The Dental Technology Showcase is the show to be at. It's the only one we take part in. I spend a lot of time here talking to other distributors, and it's interesting meeting people in the same position as I am.”

 

“It is an important event to be at, it's always nice to see our customers, and also get feedback, it's fantastic. The CPD is very important on a lecture side, and there's some great lectures obviously on digital and new technology. So there's a plethora of things to see.”

 

“The Dentistry Show is brilliant for networking; it's a great way to generate new business as well as looking after our existing clients in one day.”

 

“The Dentistry Show for us, and for all the dental professionals that come along, is a great opportunity to network, meet friends old and new, but also for the educational side as well. This is where it differs from other conferences, there's a great opportunity for professionals to come along, not only see all the latest innovations within dentistry, but also have a look about the conferences that are going on in the background as well.”

 

“The key thing about The Dentistry Show is that you get lots of different people here: you’ve got the nurses, the hygienists, the dentists, the lab techs, you've got a big variety of people. You get a lot of people who come here to buy. This event gives them that chance to touch it, feel it, see it, and really start to understand how they can integrate it into their business.”

 

“This show for us is the flagship show on the calendar now. We're enabling ourselves to interact with dentists, our customers, and prospects, to showcase our new innovations. The networking opportunities are huge.”

 

“The dentistry show and Dental Technology Showcase are absolutely crucial because they connect us all together. At this show, it's technicians, hygienists, practice mangers, dentists all together. I think that's really valuable. It's great that we can network online now, but nothing really beats turning up at a show like this. Seeing people face to face, spending that time and building that great relationships. These shows are absolutely essential for our industry. These shows are the essential place to be.”

“I've been coming to the DTS for many years and I think it's one of the most important exhibitions here in the country. Also because it's really also a place for dental technicians which the BDA for example is mainly focused on dentists. Yeah, look at the numbers, look at the people, look at the booths. There are a lot of colleagues here. I've really had some good talks. Saw people I haven't seen for quite a long time. And to be honest I actually think I've seen some new products.”

 

“I think combining both shows is a good idea because there are people that like to know about topics that relate to both shows so it's a good occasion to actually have access to different types of things in one place. And for the industry it's definitely a great way to get to see your existing customers and meet new customers at the same time.”
