DTS 2022
Connecting profession and industry once again l The Dental Technology Showcase (DTS) 2022 is renowned for its diverse education, with exciting seminars, interactive discussions and hands-on workshops tailored to all members of the dental lab team. It is also an ideal platform to discover the latest innovations in the profession, with an extensive lab-dedicated exhibition floor presenting an array of product manufacturers, technology developers, material suppliers and training providers. More than this, though, the show is an opportunity for individuals and organisations from all corners of the profession to come together, connect and share experiences. Though this remains a very busy time in UK labs, it is essential that you don’t fall behind industry news and the latest technology updates to ensure that you continue delivering the high-quality services your clients expect. DTS remains the flagship event of the Dental Laboratories Association (DLA), the professional body for lab owners in the UK. Their continued involvement in the programme and promotion of the event ensures both the relevance and quality of the education on offer, as well as the diversity of attendees for optimal networking opportunities.
and materials, and expert advice all available in one place, DTS is a massive saver both in terms of time and money. Not only this, but it means that when providing care and information to clients, you can be confident that your opinions and advice is based on the latest available information. “It’s also a great way to meet up with fellow DLA members, whether they be old friends or new ones in the making, particularly after the past two years. Face to face meet ups at events like DTS are something we have all missed, and as well as being fantastic socially, they can also really add value to your business. I’ve received some amazing advice and tips from my peers over the years, and hopefully I’ve given some as well! “No matter why you are visiting DTS, I sincerely hope you enjoy the show. Come and visit the DLA team in the Association Membership Lounge to say hi!”
President of the DLA, Steve Campbell, comments: “It is my belief that it is of the utmost importance that as UK dental labs you keep up to date with the latest news, products and services on offer in the profession.
The DLA will be just one of the professional bodies on hand at the show, with several others taking stands and presenting speakers in the various theatres to further enrich the learning for all in delegates. The British Association of Clinical Dental Technology (BACDT) and Orthodontic Technicians’ Association (OTA), for example, will each be supporting lectures in the CDT Conference and OTA Seminars. Hear from their industry-leading speakers and meet the team themselves to find out more about what membership could mean for you.
“One of the easiest ways of doing this annually is, of course, DTS. Hosting a range of CPD, all of the latest equipment
Of course, the trade floor will also host a spectrum of industry representatives who are just as keen to connect. Organisations
in attendance will include 3Shape, Bracon, Carestream Dental, Den-Tech, GC UK, Ivoclar, DGShape, Schottlander, Shofu, Straumann Group, WHW and many more. Ensuring a fully inclusive experience, there will also be members of the press to interact with too. Poppy Stoddart, Editor of Dental Technologies Magazine, commented: “After a two-year break we’re looking forward to being back at DTS: I have enjoyed the previous DTS shows, and find that they’re a great way for us to meet with subscribers, chat with old friends and make new contacts. We’ve been busy rebranding the journal, and we hope delegates will appreciate our new style and logo. Drop by stand G10 at DTS to meet the team, browse our magazines and see what special offers we have in store for you this year!” DTS 2022 will offer an eclectic combination of education and CPD, innovation and inspiration for all members of the dental laboratory team. In addition, given the restrictions and isolation of the past couple of years, the benefits of being able to meet with friends and colleagues face-to-face have never been greater. If you're looking to expand your skills, introduce new equipment, broaden your network or diversify your business, DTS 2022 will be the perfect platform to get you started. Even if you are still facing a backlog of work, taking one day out to refresh and refine your skills could do wonders for your career development. It’s also completely free for delegates, so you can really make the most of your time out of the lab. Register you and your whole team for free online today!
