Three days, four educational panels, one amazing event.
From May 30 through June 1, dental professionals and students from across the country will convene in New York City to participate in the inaugural Next Gen Summit, hosted by Incisal Edge magazine and Benco Dental and led by keynote speaker, Forbes Media Chief Content Officer, Randall Lane (shown).
Lane, who co-founded and served as Editor-in-Chief of a half dozen magazines and related websites, including P.O.V, Trader Monthly and Dealmaker, sits on the boards of directors of Global Citizen and Just Capital, chairs the advisory board of Last Mile Health, and also serves on the Board of Overseers of Columbia’s School of Professional Studies.
Sponsored by dental innovators Hu-Friedy, KaVo Kerr Group and Midmark at Kimpton Hotel Eventi in Chelsea, the three-day Summit will feature panel discussions with 12 industry pros and a Day of Smiles Giveback in New York City. All members of the dental community are invited to join this one-of-a-kind opportunity to gain powerful insight, earn Continuing Education credits and connect with the top 40 dentists in the country.
At the heart of the event: a Day of Smiles Giveback community giveback, during which volunteers in attendance at the Next Gen Summit will present Lessons in a Lunchbox to 2nd and 3rd grade students a PS125, The Ralph Bunche School. More than 20 years ago, Dr. Winifred J. Booker, CEO of the Children’s Oral Health Institute developed the Lessons in a Lunchbox program around an ingeniously crafted carrying case, designed to teach elementary school children the importance of dental hygiene.
“Lessons in a Lunchbox teaches the child independence; therefore it provides her or him the ability to brush and floss using the dental kit, the carrot case, and the lunchbox,” Dr. Booker said.
Prior to the Day of Smiles Giveback, educational topics and guest panelists at the Next Gen Summit will include:
- Setting Up a New Practice, featuring Tristan Hamilton, DDS, M Arch, Charles Loretto of Cain Watters and Associates and Melissa Sprau, NCIDQ, LEED AP
- Technology, What It Means for Your ROI, featuring Dental Advisor CEO and Editor-in-Chief Dr. Sabiha Bunek, Dr. Angela Enriquez and Dr. Jason Auerbach
- Innovation Featuring Edison Awards™ nominees, with Dr. Paul Zhivago, Dr. Alene D’Alesio and Richard Cohen
- Marketing Your Practice/Social Media, featuring Dr. Mark Broomhead, Dr. Thomas McCue and Kay Huff.
As a highlight of the Next Gen Summit, the leading lifestyle magazine for dental professionals nationwide will honor its Incisal Edge “40 Under 40,” America’s finest young practitioners. The itinerary for 2018 honorees, Incisal Edge’s “40 Under 40,” includes an exclusive high fashion photo shoot in the heart of New York City’s art world, and a celebration of all that they have achieved thus far in their professional careers.
On May 30 and 31, the top young dentists in the nation will put their chairside techniques on hold and receive the red carpet treatment by magazine staff and renowned style director Joseph DeAcetis and photographer Sasha Maslov. The photography portfolio they create will serve as the centerpiece of the magazine’s fall issue.
