“Dental Technology Showcase & Dentistry Show combines the whole team. You’ve not only got the dental technology part, we've got dental surgeons, we've got hygienists, therapists, nurses, we've got a mix of everyone. So as much as it's important that technicians come together to learn and find out what suppliers and what the industry is providing, it's also great to go and see all the aspects of dentistry and how that is evolving. CPD is an important part of our profession and to combine that with a social occasion, but that social occasion also is a learning opportunity. Meet your colleagues that you don't get a chance to see very often, see all of the technology and to learn from the lectures that people are offering all in one.”

“This is my favorite show of the year just because it has the Dental technology showcase. Most dental shows focus on the clinical stuff; there's not really much for the technicians. It's all in the same building so you can jump between each side. The collaboration between sides of the industry is just amazing here, the speakers, demos, people showcasing their skills and knowledge, everyone just wants to share what they know. ”

"Dental Technology Showcase is vitally important. So many companies in one place, so you can visit multiple different companies and get more information on products. DTS is one of my favorites shows because it blends the whole industry together breaking that barrier between the two sides of dentistry making it a fantastic place to come.”

“For me, the biggest thing is networking. It's meeting people. I have lots of peers who are my friends, so that is one time a year opportunity to meet up and enjoy the show, but also look for new products, talk to suppliers, find additional education on stands with live demos, and there are lectures at every corner. If you're a dental technician and you're not coming here, I think you're missing out so much. It's a highlight of the year. I'm never going to miss it. Dentistry is evolving constantly, so if you want to stay on top, definitely come to DTS.”

“It's a great event, it's where people can network really well. I mean, I've met lots of people, new people, connected with people I've never met face-to-face. Social media is great, but to actually have a real conversation with somebody. It’s important when you're trying to build a relationship with somebody. With suppliers, I think there's more and more of them wanting to have real technicians, real working technicians demonstrated on the stands. I think it adds a level of integrity to the products that they're trying to push. It's actually being used by people who use it from day to day, and I just think it adds weight to the sales pitch, if you like. You can actually see it being used in real time. It's a really important thing and that's going to get more and more popular."
