The list spans implant training, digital workflows, and practice growth, with options across California and the Pacific Northwest. The Glidewell Winter Implant Symposium in Irvine kicks things off in early March, drawing restorative and implant-focused clinicians for hands-on sessions. The Oregon Dental Conference in Portland rounds out the spring stretch in mid-May, making it a logical last stop for practices covering the broader West Coast territory. If you're planning your spring conference calendar and want to stay within driving distance of major hubs, this list is built around that constraint. Each entry includes dates, location, and enough detail to help you decide whether the timing and content fit where your practice is right now.
