The third annual Dental VIP (Venture, Innovation & Partnering) Summit will take place February 24, 2027, in Chicago, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, clinicians, dental service organization (DSO) leaders, and industry executives to explore emerging technologies and the partnerships needed to advance their adoption.
The one-day event is scheduled the day before the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting. The program includes keynotes, expert panels, emerging company presentations, and networking. Preliminary sessions cover how DSOs evaluate and adopt new technology; the convergence of medical, dental, and digital health; and corporate innovation and strategic partnerships. Others will explore developments in AI, diagnostics, digital workflows, and practice technology.
The summit is co-chaired by Drs. Marty Jablow, president of Dental Tech Advisors, and Jeremy Krell, MBA, managing partner of Revere Partners, and Mariya Filipova, partner in Marram Ventures.
“Technology earns its place in dentistry when it helps clinicians deliver better care,” Jablow said. “The summit brings clinical voices into the conversation early, helping innovators understand what practices need and what makes a new solution worth adopting.”
Registration is open, with a $100 early registration discount available through December 17, 2026, and special options for practicing dentists and groups of three or more.
