Where The DEO community comes alive

The energy in the room when 600+ dental entrepreneurs are learning, connecting, and pushing each other to grow is something that has to be experienced to be understood. Members say it every time — nothing else in the industry comes close.

Why DEO Events?
Exclusive. Focused.
Built for Growth.
DEO events are designed specifically for owners, founders, leadership teams, and the key team members you want to develop and level up within your organization. When you walk into the room, you know you’re surrounded by people facing many of the same challenges and opportunities. No fluff. Just meaningful conversations, practical insights, and learning experiences designed to strengthen your entire team.
Workshop-driven learning
Our events go deeper than typical conferences. Expect hands-on workshops, tactical frameworks, and tools you can take back and implement immediately with your team.
Time with your coach
Unlike most industry events, you’ll spend meaningful time working directly with your DEO coach and tribe, collaborating on real challenges and opportunities inside your organization.
A community that gets it
You’ll build relationships with people who have been there before and who understand the realities of leading and scaling a dental organization. Many members leave with not just insights, but long-term friendships and trusted peers.

Frequently asked questions
DEO events are exclusive to DEO members. They are designed to create a focused environment where dental entrepreneurs can have honest conversations, share real numbers, and learn from peers who are building organizations at a similar stage. If you’re not yet a member but are interested in attending events like these, the first step is scheduling a Growth Accelerator Call with our team to see if The DEO is the right fit for your stage of growth.
The DEO hosts several member-only events throughout the year, including Operations Intensive, Revenue Intensive, and Treatment Closing Academy Live. Each event focuses on a specific area of running and scaling a dental organization, with sessions led by DEO coaches and experienced operators. These events are designed to give members practical insights, new strategies, and time in the room with peers who are solving similar challenges.
Most dental conferences focus on lectures and large audiences. DEO events are built differently — around community, conversation, and real operator insight. You will spend time learning from experienced coaches, connecting with other dental entrepreneurs, and having the kinds of honest, high value discussions that rarely happen at traditional industry events. Members consistently say the biggest value does not come from the stage — it comes from the conversations happening around it.
"Seven years ago we had three practices and visions of what we wanted to do but no roadmap and no tools. Today we are at 18 locations and we intend to continue to grow. The DEO broke our business down and helped us rebuild it in a much more effective and efficient way."
"When I joined I think we were doing around $11 million. We do about $20 million now. It was tough to navigate — every day felt like new territory. DEO helped me figure out how to grow strategically without running myself into the ground."
"Before joining DEO I was in the chair five days a week every week. Today I am 95% out of the chair. I have learned that I am far more efficient working on my business than in my business."
"The best thing we learned from DEO is that this is a business for people. Once we started tuning into our doctors, hygienists, front desk, and office managers the business took a different shape. Once you understand the fundamentals lie with the people — the numbers take care of themselves."
"Prior to joining DEO we had one office. We now have four locations — and in that original office we demolished it and built a new one double the size. A lot of it was we just did not know how to do certain things. DEO showed us there was a better way."
"When we started with DEO we had three to four locations. Since then we have grown to eight and we are about to open two more to hit 10. Me and my partner both do not practice full time anymore. DEO helped us understand the strategy behind the growth and gave us the confidence that we could actually do it."
"Talking to groups that are larger gives me a reference for what the future can hold and what the end result can be for us. It gives us motivation to keep going — and helps me see the positive in every situation."
"When we started we had four locations. Now we have 12. I take a month off every year — this last year went to Portugal and Iceland. When I joined DEO in 2018 I was practicing five days a week, had a two hour commute, and two kids under five. It was pretty stressful."
"We did about $6.5 million together last year and we should hit close to $8 million this year. When you start to scale you do not know what you do not know — and DEO stepped in and gave me clear direction and prioritization to say this is what we should be working on now and this is what is coming next."
"We went from $3M to $5M in revenue, and when I look back at all the decisions we've made building our company, The DEO has easily been the most impactful."
"My biggest frustration was I wanted to grow but I did not know how to do it without undermining the special way I take care of patients. I did not want to ruin something that was really good. DEO helped me figure out how to grow in a way that kept our mission going in the right direction."
"I spent nine years thinking the best way to be successful was to be the best clinician I could be. I ignored the business totally. DEO gave me the financial clarity I never had — and this year we are on track to go from $1.6 million to over $2 million."
"Before DEO we were at one location with 11 team members and heavily insurance dependent. We now have three locations, solid team members at all positions, and are moving more and more away from insurance dependence. We are stronger, leaner, and faster than we have ever been."
