Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities
Exhibiting at the BDA CDS Group Annual Presidential and Scientific Meeting provides an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with community dentists and their teams, gather data, showcase your products and increase sales all in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. We are expecting approximately 150 attendees.
To book your exhibition stand, contact Susan Graves, Exhibition Sales and Sponsorship Executive on susan.graves@bda.org or call 020 7563 4175
Why exhibit or sponsor at a BDA event?
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.
