Three Days, Four Panels, One Amazing Event

On May 30, 2018 at the Kimpton Hotel Eventi in Chelsea (shown above), the heart of New York City’s art world, join attendees and 40 Under 40 honorees for Incisal Edge’s Next Gen Summit, featuring Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane as keynote speaker.

All members of the dental profession are invited to join this one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with the top 40 dentists in the country.

Incisal Edge, the leading lifestyle magazine for dental professionals nationwide, will honor America’s finest young practitioners during the three-day event hosted by Benco Dental this spring in New York City.

“The Incisal Edge ‘40 Under 40’ illustrate a commitment to driving dentistry forward,” says Chuck Cohen, founder of Incisal Edge dental lifestyle magazine. “We are very proud to honor the brightest rising dental stars in the U.S., and this year as part of their annual celebration, we’ve assembled thought leaders for an inaugural Next Gen Summit.”

Those attending will learn innovative technologies and proven strategies for launching a new practice. They also have the opportunity to earn four Continuing Education credits during panel discussions that feature leading industry professionals.

• Panel I will provide the foundational knowledge to design and finance a beautiful, efficient dental practice. Attendees will learn the following: how to increase business, enhance productivity, and set a dental practice apart from the competition. Below are Panel I speakers:

Dr. Tristan Hamilton holds a degree in architecture and dentistry. As a speaker, presenter, and consultant, he shapes dental office designs across America.

Charles Loretto serves as Director of Business Development and Marketing at Cain Watters and Associates. He diagnoses the financial support dentists need and connects them with advisors to help them achieve their goals.

Melissa Sprau, NCIDQ, LEED AP, leads Benco’s award-winning CenterPoint Design team with 10 years of architecture and design experience.

Speakers will explain how investing through technology can lead to growing a practice financially and continued patient satisfaction. Below are Panel II speakers:

Dr. Sabiha Bunek is CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The Dental Advisor. She maintains a private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and lectures on topics related to adhesives, ceramics, cementation, and CAD/CAM.

Dr. Angela Enriquez was instrumental in designing a space that creates a stress-free experience. She refers to her 2,200 square foot Texas office as a beach cottage.

Dr. Jason Auerbach, in his New Jersey practice, was one of the first to implement 3D conebeam technology and use it as the standard of care.

• In Panel III, former Edison Awards™ nominees and winners discuss how their inventions are currently helping patients and consumers. The panel highlights: how listening to patients results in innovation, how developing innovative products/services for patients can turn into a business, and the reasoning why disruption drives dentistry forward. Below are Panel III speakers:

Dr. Paul Zhivago is a 2017 Edison Awards nominee whose Open Platform Workflow system uses film-making technology to vastly improve the quality of digital impressions of patients’ mouths.

Dr. Alene D’Alesio is a 2016 Gold Edison Awards Winner for the Lily Method Pacifier Weaning System. She is the Program Director for the Pediatric Dentistry Residency Program at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

• Last but not least, Panel IV features three experts who successfully brand their practices using marketing and social media. They’ll share tips and tricks on how others can achieve similar results. Below are Panel IV speakers:

Dr. Mark Broomhead is a Chicago native and former investment banker who owns and operates a dental implant center where he places over 75 implants per week. His repertoire includes an infomercial that received more than 25,000 views.  His practices include Compton & Broomhead, Kessler Family Dental and Associates, MDICA and Dental Home Health.
