ADSO 2018 Annual Summit

Editors note: When dentists receive good administrative support services, they can focus on patients, expand access to quality dental care and improve the oral health of their communities. In this issue, the Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) presents its 2018 Annual Summit. The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) has released the agenda for the 2018 ADSO Summit at the JW Marriott Austin in downtown Austin, Texas. The conference will begin the morning of April 17 and conclude Friday evening, April 20. This years agenda is stacked with outstanding speakers who will cover a range of topics designed for every member of the team, with breakouts on topics such as leadership, marketing and public relations, human resources and recruitment, advocacy, and growth and development. DSOs and group practices of all sizes will benefit from the general sessions, breakout sessions, round table discussions, talk table visits with industry partners and networking receptions. CEOs Pat Bauer, of Heartland Dental; Steve Bilt, of Smile Brands, Inc.; and Kenneth Cooper, of North American Dental Group, will lead a general session on Leading Change: Supporting and Developing Newly Acquired Practices, which will include information on best business practices, collaboration and learning opportunities. The ADSO Summit draws C-level executives and team members from DSOs, as well as industry partner representatives from more than 150 companies.
