The list spans clinical education, industry trade shows, and state association meetings, giving you a practical cross-section of where dental professionals gather early in the year. Yankee Dental Congress in Boston draws a large regional crowd from the Northeast and tends to fill the expo floor fast. DS World in Las Vegas skews more toward technology and DSO audiences. Whether you run a solo practice, work in a group setting, or sell into the dental market, the timing matters. Most of these events land in the last two weeks of January, which makes back-to-back attendance possible if you plan around geography.
