VISITOR TESTIMONIALS

I’m in the process of buying a practice. The show is a great way to find out what’s going on in the market. Everything’s here under one roof.
Suganthy Suthagor, Dentist

This is a fantastic show; it caters for everyone. You don’t get this calibre of speakers all in one place anywhere else. I’ve got most of my team here and will be making the show a regular event for our training. I’m particularly interested in the trade show, as we are doing a major refurbishment and it’s great to meet all the manufacturers. A valuable show all round.
Mark Gregory, Dentist, Village Dental Practice

It’s important for me to improve my technique and learn about the latest technology. You can’t get this amount of CPD training for free anywhere else. I’ve flown all the way from Germany just to be here.
Dominic Steinhauer, Dentist

As a newly qualified dental technician the conferences at the show have been really helpful. The speakers have been very generous with their time and given me lots of advice. It’s been worth the journey from Manchester.
Nusrat Girach, Dental Technician

When you are working in a surgery, you’re in a bit of a cocoon. You need to come to shows like this to see how the industry is moving forward and whether you are moving with it. Going around the show floor you can test new products, which you just can’t do with the internet or magazines. And it’s great for networking too. I’ve bumped into some old students of mine and a dentist I worked with ten years ago.
Stephen Pitt, Dentist and Practice Owner

The show is a wonderful opportunity for dental nurses to find out just how big the dentistry industry is and what opportunities are available. It’s such a beneficial experience for dental nurses; they don’t generally have access to the range of topics that are on offer here in the seminars.
Beverley Coker, Head of Dental Nurse Foundation Training, Kings College Hospital, NHS Foundation Trust

It’s a tough market for technicians at the moment, so it’s more important than ever for them to be here and benefit from the seminars. 
Ashley Byrne, Managing Director, Byrnes Dental Laboratory

The show is a really good use of my time. The sessions are interesting and give me the latest information straight from the experts. I’ll be back next year.
Brett Holloway, Dental Technician, Oral Ceramics

I’m very pleased with this year’s show. It’s a challenging time for dentists it helps them to come to somewhere like the Dentistry Show to hear how they as profession can gain control over their jobs. You can only do so much with Facebook groups and the printed media. They can’t replace sitting down with people and having that face to face contact, which is what you get here. Combine that with the benefits of an exhibition and practical seminars, and you have a winning formula.
Derek Watson, Chief Executive, Dental Professionals Association

I come to the Dentistry Show to get tips and learn different techniques. I can pick up information here that makes a huge difference to my work. You’d usually have to pay a £150 for a course to get this type of training.
Mark Stevenson, MLS Dental Laboratory

This is my third year speaking at The Dentistry Show and it’s been the busiest yet. There’s a great calibre of people here and it’s so good for networking. People are keen to learn from their peers; everyone likes coming to events like this.
Laura Horton, Treatment Coordinator Trainer, Laura Horton Consulting

Dentistry is changing. It’s not just about the dentist anymore; every member of the team is equally important. Nurses are a really valuable part of the team and they need to be able to come to seminars like these at the Dentistry Show to find out what’s going on in dentistry. I’ve been really impressed with the turnout and the response from the audience.
Avi Banerjee, Senior Lecturer/Hon Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at Guy’s, Deputy Director of Education and Clinical Skills for KCL Dental Institute.

I love engaging with people face to face and this show if perfect for that.
Rob Storrar, Managing Director, Amdecc Dental Laboratory

I’ve been surprised by the quality of the presentations. It’s important to inform hygienists and dentists about the key issues in the industry and this show does precisely that. A very well organised event.
Andrea Pilloni, Professor of Periodontology, University of Rome Sapienza; Director of Master Program Periodontics; President, Italian Association of Halitosis

EXHIBITOR TESTIMONIALS

We are a small UK company and events like the Dentistry Show are the lifeline for our business. In a two-day period, we have signed up more than 120 dentists.
Jamie Patterson, Business Development Manager, Clear Step

It’s been a really good show for us. It’s worked well using the stand as a base and having internal meetings. We came to the show two years ago and there’s been an unbelievable difference in numbers and the quality of visitors since then. It’s been a very good result in terms of the types of people we are talking to and the conversations we are having.
Alex Handley, Recruitment Partner, Integrated Dental Holdings 

We’ve had a very good show. I don’t know where the day’s gone. There are lots of decision makers here, so we are talking to people with the purchasing power.
Alex McGrath, Sales Executive, Panadent

We’ve got lots of leads and have plenty of follow ups to do afterwards, so we are very happy. The Dentistry Show ticks all the boxes.
Mark Chapman, Area Sales Manager, Elexxion Dental Laser

There’s been a great turnout this year and we’ve got more qualified leads as a result. There are very few other ways of getting your name in front of so many people. 
Iain Forster, Managing Director, DIO Corporation

The show has significantly improved from last year. Having the lecture halls in the same room as the exhibitions means you get lots of traffic. I’ve seem more people here than I have at other shows. We haven’t stopped all day and have already booked for next year.
Grahame Cox, Marketing Director, Oasis Dental Care

This is the first time for us at the Dentistry Show and it’s been a worthwhile event. We cover the whole of the UK and being here has given us access to a lot of new people and allowed us to catch up with our customers.
Carol Scott, The Dental Imaging Company

We have a good stand in a great position. We’re getting good leads and hitting our targets. We’re very happy.
Gurpreet Jandu, Regional Sales Manager, Astra Tech

We are launching a new product and so felt had to be here. We’ve hardly stopped all day; CloserStill is obviously doing something right. The show pays for itself.
Carl Wood, GM, Bien Air

We took a much bigger stand this year and it’s worked well for us. We’ve see quality rather than quantity and have rebooked for next year.
Jason Bedford, Director, D2D Endo

It’s been a good show for us this year. Our product is a high end item and people need to see it. Being here makes sense and we’re coming back next year.
Simon Hughes, County Sales Manager, CEREC, Sirona

I’ve been coming to the Dentistry Show since it launched and it improves year on year. I like the layout and the format works. They’ve got it right.
David Harpet, Managing Director, Kerr UK

It’s been a really, really good show and so busy. There’s absolutely the right sort of people here, and lots with their teams, so we can see everyone all together. We’re very pleased.
Gary Skippper, Senior Dental Marketing Manager, Dental Protection Society

You have to develop relationships in the dentistry industry and being here has allowed us to meet our customers, explain our products and showcase what we do. We’ve had pretty consistent footfall through the stand, made valuable contacts and made a lot of good leads.
Sandy Littlejohn, Managing Director, Dental Technology Services
