Time: 8:00 am - 11:30 pm Eastern

Speaker: Adrian Lefler

Topic: AI SEO For Dentists: How to Be Recommended By ChatGPT & Gemini

Topic Details: Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how patients search for and choose a dentist. Instead of ranking websites based solely on keywords and links, AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Google Gemini analyze questions, break them into sub-queries, retrieve information from multiple sources across the internet, and synthesize answers tailored to the patient’s intent.

This presentation explains how large language models function as research assistants, how they gather and evaluate information, and how they present recommendations to prospective dental patients. Attendees will see real examples of AI search queries and explore where these systems source their information. By understanding how AI search differs from traditional SEO, dental professionals will learn why content must be written and distributed differently than in the past.

Topic: Communication Code: Stronger Teams & Better Conversations

Speaker: Brandi Marzolino

Topic Details: The Communication Code is a high engagement, hands on workshop designed to transform how dental teams communicate internally and with patients. This is not a lecture. Through interactive exercises and real world scenarios, attendees will uncover why communication breaks down, including the meaning gap between intention and impact, and how stress, tone, and assumptions create disconnect across roles.

Participants will learn a simple, repeatable Connection Framework they can immediately apply in team conversations, leadership moments, and patient interactions including case presentation and handling objections. One of the most impactful tools, the Pre Conversation Reset, helps team members approach difficult conversations with clarity instead of emotion, reducing defensiveness and miscommunication.

The workshop includes role based breakout scenarios that reflect real challenges in a dental practice, from admin to clinical handoffs to hygiene doctor alignment and accountability conversations. Attendees will not just learn, they will practice.

Each participant leaves with a clear implementation plan, including communication guardrails, practical scripts, a preparation tool for tough conversations, and a 7 day action plan to start improving communication immediately.

The ROI is immediate and measurable. Stronger communication reduces costly errors, improves team efficiency, and creates alignment across departments. Practices can expect increased case acceptance, improved patient trust and retention, higher production per visit, and fewer breakdowns in handoffs. On the team side, it reduces tension, burnout, and turnover, creating a more stable and productive culture. For individuals, it builds confidence, leadership presence, and the ability to navigate high stakes conversations with clarity. This directly supports key KPIs such as case acceptance percentage, production, schedule utilization, and patient experience metrics, making communication not just a soft skill, but a driver of real business results.

Topic: The Chosen Approach

Speaker: Sean Hamel

Topic Details: This session explores the critical shift needed in dental marketing to stay competitive: adopting story-based marketing. Traditional approaches focus on getting your practice seen by highlighting services and features, but without an emotional connection, there’s no guarantee you’ll be chosen. Being chosen is what drives growth, builds patient trust, and increases revenue. By leveraging storytelling, dental practices can address patient fears, create meaningful connections, and stand out in a crowded marketplace. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of why story-based marketing is essential for long-term success.
