ADSO Summit 2026: The Premier Event for Dental Support Organizations

The ADSO Summit is the official annual gathering of the Association of Dental Support Organizations — the trade association representing the DSO industry. With 1,000–1,400+ attendees and 130+ exhibitors, it is the most targeted event for reaching DSO decision-makers in the United States.

Why ADSO Summit Matters

ADSO member organizations collectively support thousands of dental practices across the country, including major groups like Aspen Dental, Heartland Dental, Pacific Dental Services, and MB2 Dental. The Summit brings together CEOs, COOs, Chief Dental Officers, and operations leaders who make technology purchasing decisions for hundreds of locations at a time.

Key Topics for 2026

• AI and automation in dental operations — how DSOs are deploying AI voice agents, automated recall, and intelligent scheduling at scale
• Workforce challenges and solutions — addressing the dental staffing shortage with technology
• Regulatory and compliance updates — HIPAA, state regulations, and AI disclosure requirements
• Growth strategies — M&A activity, de novo expansion, and multi-state operations
• Patient experience innovation — omnichannel communication, online booking, and digital intake

Who Should Attend

This summit is essential for DSO executives, operations leaders, dental group practice owners, technology vendors serving the DSO space, private equity investors in dental, and anyone involved in multi-location dental practice management. If you support 5+ dental locations, the ADSO Summit is where your peers and competitors will be.

Attendance & Foot Traffic

The ADSO Summit consistently draws 1,000–1,400+ attendees with 100–130+ exhibitors. While smaller than general dental meetings, the audience is exclusively DSO leadership — making it one of the highest-ROI events for enterprise dental technology companies.
