It’s mid-May, 2020. The dental industry is gearing up as the economy restarts its engine. Doing so will require a mix of reflection, planning, business savvy, and grit. It is time to look ahead and set new best-practices to ensure that the wounds of the COVID-19 pandemic do not translate into long-lasting scars.
–
To address the concerns in the dental marketplace, Dykema’s DSO team gathered many of the industry’s top thought-leaders for an exclusive, in-depth series of live conversations. Together, we discussed what actions business owners, dentists, and industry executives can take now to ensure that the dental industry can come back stronger than ever. We invite you to view the sessions in their entirety. If you have a question that wasn’t answered during the virtual conference, please email us DykemaDSO@Dykema.com. We’d be happy to address it for you.
