Dental VIP Summit 2027 to Advance Dental Innovation and Investment

---

One-Day Event Connects Dental Innovators With Investors, Clinical Leaders, and Strategic Partners to Advance Funding, Commercialization, and Adoption

The third annual Dental VIP (Venture, Innovation & Partnering) Summit will take place Feb. 24, 2027, in Chicago, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, clinicians, dental service organization (DSO) leaders, and industry executives to explore emerging technologies and the partnerships needed to advance their adoption.

Scheduled for the day before the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting, the summit will feature keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, emerging company presentations, and networking opportunities. The program will examine how artificial intelligence, clinical innovation, and strategic investment are reshaping dental care and the business of dentistry .

The 2027 summit is co-chaired by Marty Jablow, DMD, president of Dental Tech Advisors; Jeremy Krell, DMD, MBA, managing partner of Revere Partners; and Mariya Filipova, partner at Marram Ventures. Together, they bring clinical, investment, and health care innovation perspectives to a program designed to connect promising ideas with the expertise, capital, and relationships needed to move them forward.

“Technology earns its place in dentistry when it helps clinicians deliver better care,” Jablow said. “The summit brings clinical voices into the conversation early, helping innovators understand what practices need and what makes a new solution worth adopting.”

The summit’s curated format connects founders and emerging companies with investors, potential strategic partners, and clinicians who can help evaluate new technologies, support their development, and accelerate their adoption.

“Dental entrepreneurs need more than funding to build sustainable businesses,” Krell said. “They need a clear market opportunity and the right partners. We’re bringing those perspectives together to help promising innovations move toward adoption.”

The preliminary program includes discussions on how DSOs evaluate and adopt new technologies, the convergence of medical, dental, and digital health, and corporate innovation and strategic partnerships. Additional sessions will explore developments in artificial intelligence, diagnostics, digital workflows, and practice technology.

“Dentistry has an opportunity to play a larger role in connected, whole-person care,” Filipova said. “By bringing dental, medical, and digital health leaders together, we can identify partnerships that make that vision practical for patients and providers.”

Registration is open, with a $100 early registration discount available through Dec. 17, 2026. Special registration options are also available for practicing dentists and groups of three or more.
