Dental Trade Alliance Annual Meeting 2026 (Phoenix, 2-5 November 2026)
About this event
The Dental Trade Alliance (DTA) Annual Meeting 2026 is the premier leadership and business conference organized by the Dental Trade Alliance. The event brings together executives, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, service providers, and key decision-makers from across the dental industry to discuss market trends, innovation, regulatory developments, and the future of dentistry.
The 2026 edition will take place in Phoenix and is themed “Connected Intelligence.” The meeting serves as a high-level forum for strategic discussions, industry networking, leadership development, and collaboration among companies shaping the dental marketplace. Sponsorship materials published by DTA confirm Phoenix as the host city for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Unlike clinical dental congresses focused on continuing education, the DTA Annual Meeting is primarily geared toward business leaders, industry executives, and organizations involved in the manufacturing, distribution, technology, and support sectors of dentistry. Past DTA Annual Meetings have featured economic forecasts, industry trend analysis, policy updates, innovation showcases, and extensive networking opportunities.
