“The DTS show for us is always the one, there's an amazing lineup of speakers and lecturers, you can get some fantastic CPD. Key suppliers are here, our customers are here, a lot of my colleagues are here and loads of other lab owners are here. it's an amazing networking experience. And it's a really good chance for having a bit of a chinwag. Have a bit of a moan, have a bit of the good things, the bad things and of course have a few beers afterwards. So it's a good event, it's why I'm here every year and I love it.”

“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.”

These shows are really important. People are coming from far away just to meet you and not just to see friends but also to get more information about the newest technologies. And to make every day easier to work on, to understand where the future is. And for that reason we have to be here. Yes, I can really say this show here in Birmingham is the show for the dental and the dentists, it's for the whole community in dentistry.”

“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.”
