CONVENTION /kənˈvɛnʃn/

Derived from the Latin convenire, meaning « to come together, » a convention is an event where like-minded individuals gather to connect, share passions, and engage in related activities.

This is exactly what we aim to achieve on January 9th, 2027. We invite the entire dental community to join us at Zurich’s Kraftwerk for the 2nd DASC Convention – a day dedicated to exchange and innovation.

The day will kick off with practical workshops and interactive speed dating sessions, providing an opportunity to dive into the latest techniques and  tools in a hands-on environment. You can choose between attending a workshop alongside three speed dating sessions or focus on six speed dating sessions for a concentrated, fast-paced learning experience. These sessions are designed to equip you with new skills and insights that you can immediately apply in your practice.

Following the morning’s interactive sessions, we will move into two main visionary’s voice lecture sessions, where leading experts will discuss forward-thinking topics, from the impact of digital technologies in dentistry to the future of surgical procedures and dental practice management. These lectures aim to provide you with practical, actionable insights to address the evolving challenges in the dental field.

To conclude the day, we invite you to relax and unwind with an evening of entertainment, featuring a DJ set and live concert at Kraftwerk. It’s the perfect opportunity to continue the networking activities in a nice atmosphere, where you can build lasting professional relationships while enjoying music and great company.

The 2nd DASC Convention is set to redefine dental events, offering a unique blend of innovation, collaboration, and community. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative day of learning and networking.

As the day transitions into the evening, enjoy dinner followed by a lively DJ set, live concert, and party. These events create a fun, relaxed atmosphere to continue building meaningful professional relationships in a celebratory setting.
