“This doesn't feel like a business conference. And maybe it's because it's a lot of smaller groups and more entrepreneurial. But there's something about the energy here that's great. Everybody's networking, chatting each other up… I'm learning a lot by listening to a lot of different people.”
— Paul Gruensfelder, Vice President of Marketing, Select Dental Management LLC

If you haven't been to a DEO Summit you really need to give it a shot.
