For more than 50 years, UNIDI has actively contributed to the growth of the Italian dental industry.

Speakers’ Corner at EXPODENTAL

As in previous editions, and parallel with the trade presentation, EXPODENTAL has organised a Speakers’ Corner programme. It will host business presentations of new products and treatments, as well as detailed information about some of the most innovative technologies and solutions developed by manufacturers over the last two years. So far, we have already scheduled 36 talks, with 21 exhibitors taking part to discuss, among other issues, the importance of technology in clinical management, “Digital Dentistry: innovations and opportunities,” the future of dental clinic design, and digital strategies for improving care quality. The sessions at Speakers’ Corner will include participation by prestigious experts from Spain and abroad.
