ADA Forsyth is going to SmileCon for the first time! Join ADA Forsyth for the brand new AFI Innovation Hub at SmileCon, ADA’s annual conference, Oct. 17-19 in New Orleans. Showcasing 12 of the top companies in dental AI, diagnostics, devices, software as a service (SaaS), and business-to-business (B2B) solutions, the Hub will include hands-on experiences with the latest tech and opportunities to meet the entrepreneurs behind cutting-edge developments in the dental field. The hub will also feature conversations with AFI clinical researchers about recent innovative discoveries in periodontology, the oral/systemic connection and more.
Additionally, the program also includes a series of Innovation Expo sessions, with eight one-hour sessions taking place over course of the conference, during which each company will showcase its technology. Sessions will run 2-3 times each day to give everyone a chance to experience the technology. Participants can also meet ADA Forsyth CEO Wenyuan Shi, Ph.D., and COO and CSO, Dr. Ben Wu at a meet and greet at 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18.
Last year, more than 10,000 dental professionals attended SmileCon. The experience will give companies participating in the Hub a chance to network and gain feedback from industry professionals.
