Reach your desired audience over a focused seminar, training course or conference, providing your organisation the opportunity to meet face to face with dentists and the dental team
The BDA is the association membership body available for all dentists in the UK, consequently our events are key dates to meet and engage with dentists
By exhibiting at BDA events and activities you are helping support dentistry, as the BDA's sole purpose of running events is to support the profession
Dentists have the time at BDA events to research, source and engage with organisations, therefore our events are a valuable occasion for the industry and dental profession to engage.
