You’ll be introduced to a like-minded community.
As a DEO Member, you’ll be connected with some of the best and brightest minds in group dentistry.
First, you’ll be introduced to a small, personal group of like-minded peers in the industry.
Over the next 12 months, you’ll interact with experts; hear from thought leaders; and review key reading material, concepts, and ideas that are necessary for any dental group to grow and succeed.
The next 12 months will bring valuable connections with peers, mentors, and resources.
Pre-Immersion Event: Upon registration, you’ll be introduced to content and ideas to jumpstart your journey. You’ll meet peers, review reading materials, and complete online exercises to prepare you for your Immersion Event.
Month 1: At the Immersion Event, you’ll meet dozens of like-minded dentists and dental executives who are interested in building group practices. You’ll complete homework and exercises to begin “growing yourself” into the effective executive leader you need to be to successfully build your group.
Months 2-5: You will meet regularly with your dentist-entrepreneur and executive peers.
Month 6: You’ll attend a live event and take a deeper look at elements essential to your growth
Months 7-12: You’ll attend virtual (online) events that will help you solidify and process the information you receive at live events.

We believe real transformation, real peer community, and real results begin with a committed group of like-mind individuals, and those real results do not happen overnight True personal and professional growth takes time, and there are no quick-fix shortcuts.
What if I can’t attend a live event?
First-year event attendance is highly encouraged, but if it’s necessary to miss an event, you will be given the opportunity to catch up by watching videos and committing to additional exercises. Additionally, you will have the chance to attend the next DEO class event.
