DIA 2.0 was even better than DIA 1.0. As a dental student I love all the opportunities, innovations, and connections DIA offers. Their sponsors are well-vetted and always bring the best to the table – not generic info. The speakers this year were on Fyre and I learned so much about the newest techniques, the old but gold, pathology, business strategy, financial planning, and more! They really have a wide variety of topics from esthetic dentistry, to oral surgery, endo, perio, photography, business, etc. Great conference to meet other specialists, general dentists, and dental labs around the country. The energy and the vibe of the conference is very positive and everyone is super friendly and approachable. I will definitely attend again!

DIA v2.0 was a HOT event. Definitely recommend it to any dental professional, you’ll have a blast and learn a lot also! The dia team did a wonderful job of building a relaxed environment for dental representatives, lab technicians, dental hygienists and dentists to interact and build strong relationships

I don’t know how to describe the vibe of this. It’s not a meeting where it’s passive learning from room to room. It’s an engagement unlike any other. The egos are gone. The walls for learning are gone. The energy from everybody is contagious. The DIA crew are the humblest dudes who really care about elevating everyone’s dental game. In my time in dentistry, I have never gotten more out of one weekend then this gathering. I highly recommend 2020’s version of this event. See you then.

Want to be surrounded by the best clinicians who motivate you to do better? If so, this is the place to be. This conference truly changed my life – there is no other place you’ll find this much knowledge and passion by highly esteemed clinicians in our field. I made tons of friends and had a good time all the while nurturing my desire to learn. Hands down the best conference ever!

One of a kind conference. Lots of energy. Everyone seems to get along like friends.
My critique is that it could separate itself even more from the norm. Unfortunately, many dentists attend conferences for the credit they receive and not for the content that is addressed (likely everyone who reads this is not in that category). This conference was fun but at times it seemed like people were there more for the fun than for the content. Some of the speakers weren’t given enough time to dive deep enough into content for it to be meaningful.
There is good content though. And it is fun! I’d go again. I’m just giving some y’all something else to think about.

DIA is unlike any other conference. I’m addition to hearing great lectures from a huge spectrum of topics, but you also learn about new products and technologies from all the incredible vendors there. The group that shows up for this event is absolutely incredible. Good content, great people and a lot of fun!!

I will go to every DIA ever for the rest of my life and bully my dental friends to go. I learned a lot, it wasn’t overwhelming, and hands down the most fun dental event I’ve been to, ever.

I appreciated this event so much. I’m a hygienist who came with my mom, a Dentist. I learned a lot about where the dental field is going towards and this event has opened my eyes to what’s possible. The courses and speakers were engaging and were great intros to help us define where we would like to learn more of. Flash Brothers’ Hands on was a fave! I definitely will be back next year. Thanks DIA & Course Karma.

This convention was INCREDIBLE! Nothing but good things to say about the experience I’ve had here. I am a 3rd year dental student and have been inspired in so many ways. This blew me away. The networking opportunities, creative presentations, friendly and encouraging vibe made for the best weekend! Stoked for the next time I am able to attend DIA!

This was my first DIA experience and I have to say how much more my inner passion for our field has grown just from listening and networking. As a 3rd year dental student, I am more excited about my future career and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with my schoolmates.

DIA is the conference of the year. All the doctors from the best courses out there put into 1. It just doesn’t get better than that. From phenomenal GBR to All on X, Dental Photogrphy and practice management. You don’t only leave insipired, but also feeling equipped to perform. It’s like Dental school in a nutshell! ? Seriusly ecstatic about DIA 2.0.

A super fun conference to be at. Still can’t believe what a stellar job these guys did putting together an entire conference through instagram and grabbing some excellent speakers. It was great to catch up with people I hadn’t seen in a while and connect with people that I have been following on instragram for a while but had never met before. Lots of new friends made here! Super pumped for DIA 2.0!

Year #1 of DIA and i was in attendance. Dr. Brian Baliwas was a clinical instructor of mine all throughout dental school, and for that i count my blessings. Attending DIA was like attending a conference filled with the youngest, most modern, bright minds of dentistry all sharing their tips on how to not only provide excellent care, but also how to be successful doing it. I made numerous friends this past year, and look forward to next year as well. I think some more hands on courses would be neat, but i really enjoyed the short 20 minute breakout sessions which allowed you to visit many different classes easily.

If you’re looking to feel reinvigorated about dentistry, DIA is the conference for you. This is not your typical stuffy dental conference- the attendees and speakers are a conglomeration of people who are excited about dentistry, excited about pushing boundaries, and excited about interacting. In what is basically TEDtalks for Dentistry, specialists and generalists alike get something out of DIA, which makes it unique on its own.

Great content, speakers, and attendees alike make this the conference you just can’t miss out on. Looking forward to DIA 2.0!

Great conference! It has more of a vibrant and lively feel than the usual meetings where your stuck listening to the same presenter give the same information in a mundane manner. Inspired me to delve into dental photography and also gave me the inspiration to keep growing and learning! Totally worth every penny! Also met some pretty great people while there!

The inaugural DIA 2018 was the most motivating, interesting and fun professional event I’ve ever attended. It was all the people that made this intimate gathering special. Keep in mind most of the attendees were signed up before CE credits were confirmed so you know we were all going out of genuine interest, and FOMO.

The highlight for me was spending the weekend learning from and mingling/partying with all the amazing clinicians I follow on Instagram. I felt constantly starstruck, but everyone was so friendly, approachable and humble. The vibe was not like a typical conference or trade show, it was youthful, energetic, enthusiastic and informal. Networking felt natural since we were all so similarly minded. These are the people for whom dentistry is a passion and a lifestyle. My kind of people. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

This course was one of the best! At no other conference will you find so many strangers in one room that all act like they have been best friends for life! Not only was it a great meeting for the connections, but there were some great speakers that all have some amazing content to deliver! I cannot wait for DIA 2019

Since my dental education began I have attended dental conferences & conventions with a typical hierarchy akin to the caste system. Attendees & product representatives would be at a different level from the speakers, hosts & sponsors. There was a clear difference in class, one that coldly divided & separated.

DIA disrupted this structure.

Speakers, sponsors, dental representatives & attendees were at equal footing. The founders of DIA created an environment that not only encouraged interaction but fostered it to flourish! Lectures were engaging instead of homework, vendors were sociable with no looming pitch, just genuine belief in their products. Most incredibly, attendees who were once known to each other remotely finally met in person!

Ours is a profession built on networking. DIA made that happen in more ways that anyone can imagine.

DIA was great , it’s not your typical conference , it is mostly structured around social connections and Aha moment’s.
Clinical Education is not the main component yet they still delivered some nice breakout sessions.
To me it was more of the Ultimate Dental Social Even #UDSE ………not bad for a name ?
