Day 1 hits different. 👀

8AM to 5PM. No fluff. No filler. Just the dental business education most of us never got in school — packed into one Saturday in San Gabriel.

Here’s what’s on the table tomorrow:
🔹 State of the dental job market right now — what’s actually happening in 2026
🔹 Business 101 for every dentist — the foundation everything else is built on
🔹 Lease contracts and landlord pitfalls — the traps nobody warns you about
🔹 The perfect associateship — how to find it, negotiate it, and grow in it
🔹 Buying or selling a practice — the essential steps most people skip
🔹 14 dental practice operations for ideal management
🔹 The road to the right financing
🔹 Negotiation, letters of intent, and purchase agreements
🔹 The gap between accounting profit and real cash in your pocket
🔹 What great leaders and great investors have in common

Then we close the day with cocktail hour in the foyer — because the best conversations happen after the sessions end. 🍸

If you’re walking into tomorrow without knowing your production vs. collection ratio, what a write-off actually costs you, or how to read a purchase agreement — you’re in exactly the right place.

See you at 8AM. Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel. Don’t be late!

None of this happens without them. 🙏

To every sponsor on this page — thank you. Not just for the financial support, but for believing in what we’re building at the The Dental Business Conference by KADA.

We want to be clear about something: we didn’t just open the door to any vendor who wanted a booth. Every single company and individual on this flyer was personally vetted. These are people and organizations we know, trust, and have seen deliver real results for real dentists. Their reputation matters to us — because your time and your trust matter to us.

Whether you need implants, IT, billing, financing, legal counsel, accounting, or practice growth tools — the people in this room on April 11th and 12th are the ones worth having in your phone. Not because they paid to be there. Because they earned it.

If you see them at the conference — go say hi. Get their card. Have the conversation. These are the connections that actually move your practice forward.

To our sponsors: we see you, we appreciate you, and we will do our 10,000% to make this weekend worth every bit of your investment. See you in San Gabriel. 🦷

Lawyers. CPAs. Practice brokers. DSO executives. Consultants who don’t pick up the phone for just anyone.

They’re all going to be in one room this weekend. And so are we.

The KADA Dental Business Conference is 3 days away and this is the lineup we built for you — speakers who have actually bought, built, scaled, and sold dental practices. Not theory. Real experience. Real answers.

Whether you’re still in dental school trying to figure out how any of this works, a new associate wondering if you’re getting paid what you’re worth, a practice owner trying to protect what you’ve built, or a seasoned dentist thinking about what comes next —
there is something on this stage for exactly where you are right now.

🎓 16 CE units. Two days. San Gabriel, CA.

DENTAL STUDENTS!! What are you doing after graduation? 🎓🏃‍♂️

For many dental students, the answer is a big, stressful “I don’t know.” No job lined up, no idea how to negotiate a contract, and zero experience with the business side of dentistry.

If that sounds like you, The KADA Business Conference is your safety net. We’re calling all USC, UCLA, Loma Linda, and WesternU students to step out of the clinic and into the real world. This isn’t another lecture on anatomy—it’s a 2-day roadmap for your entire career.

Why Students & New Grads Are Heading to San Gabriel:

✅ Associateship 101: Get clear on contracts, pay, and non-competes.

✅ Career Paths: Panels on FFS, DSO, Pediatrics, and Private Practice.

✅ 16 CE Units: Get a head start on your professional requirements.

You know clinical dentistry, but do you know the dental business? 🦷📊

Dr. Doo Lim, an Endodontist in LA, knows that the transition from the chair to the office desk is where most young dentists feel the most pressure. Between payroll, accounting, and legal contracts, there is a lot that dental school simply doesn’t cover.

On April 11-12, join Dr. Lim and the KADA community at the Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel to grow your potential and eliminate the guesswork.

What you’ll master at the conference:

✅ The Essentials: Payroll, accounting, and business systems.

✅ Legal Clarity: Navigating dental contracts and lease pitfalls.

✅ Next-Level Growth: Everything you need to know about opening your own practice.

✅ 16 CE Units: High-impact learning that counts toward your requirements.

Rethink your priorities for next weekend!. 🦷💼

Let’s be real: Dental school teaches you how to save teeth, but it doesn’t give you a roadmap for running a business. Whether you’re a student facing finals or a young DDS navigating your first few years, the “unknowns” of contracts, overhead, and practice ownership can be overwhelming.

On April 11-12, the KADA Dental Business Conference is taking over the Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel to give you the “Dental MBA” you never got.

Why You Need to Be There:

✅ 16 CE Units: Earn your credits while learning real-world skills.

✅ Associateship 101: Decoding contracts, non-competes, and negotiating what you’re actually worth.

✅ The Ownership Roadmap: Startups vs. acquisitions, mastering your P&L, and managing a team like a CEO.

✅ The Network: Meet the mentors and peers who will help you avoid the expensive mistakes.
