Registration is now open for Dentistry Show London 2026, with the full conference programme now live, giving delegates the opportunity to plan two days of practical education, innovation and networking at Excel London on 9–10 October 2026.

Building on the success of the British Dental Conference & Dentistry Show (BDCDS), which welcomed more than 10,300 delegates to Birmingham in May, Dentistry Show London (DSL) will once again bring together the profession to explore the latest clinical developments, business strategies and technologies shaping the future of dentistry.

Expected to attract more than 4,000 dental professionals, the event will feature 100+ speakers and six CPD-accredited theatres, creating a comprehensive programme for the whole dental community including dentists, hygienists, therapists, dental nurses, technicians, practice managers and practice owners.

With the conference schedule now available, delegates can explore the programme in advance and tailor their visit to the topics most relevant to their practice and professional development.
