The British Dental Conference & Dentistry Show (BDCDS) is the biggest annual gathering of the UK dental profession, co-organised with the British Dental Association. Over two days in Hall 5 of the NEC Birmingham, it draws more than 10,000 dental professionals, from practice owners and associates to hygienists, therapists, nurses and treatment coordinators. The 2027 programme spans 11 theatres and 150+ free eCPD hours, delivered by 200+ internationally recognised speakers covering clinical dentistry, practice management, digital workflows, facial aesthetics and more. Dental Technology Showcase runs alongside, linking dentists and technicians in one venue. On the exhibition floor, 400+ leading brands showcase the latest equipment, materials and software, with live demonstrations and hands-on sessions. Entry is free for registered dental professionals, and badges are best requested in advance to skip the queue.
