Yankee Multi-Site Summit: Thursday Full Day

Join us for the 2025 Yankee Multi-Site Summit!

The Yankee Dental Congress Multi-Site Summit is back again for it’s third year, but this time with lots of changes! The Multi-Site Summit will be in Hall B2 on the Exhibit Show Floor for easier access for all to attend.

In addition, the programming has been adjusted to help assist you with providing CE based on your current number of practices. Thursday content is geared towards multi-site practices of 10 or more locations and Friday for those with 10 or less. The courses at Multi Site will help you navigate the multi-site space and what is needed for continued growth. This is an opportunity to learn about the space from some of the top leaders in the industry.
