It’s not every day that you get a chance to listen to a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author speak directly to you. On Friday afternoon, Sept. 14, Doris Kearns Goodwin takes the stage to present Dentsply Sirona World 2018’s keynote address.

Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for “No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II” and is the author of the bestsellers “Wait Till Next Year,” “Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream” and “The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys,” which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV
miniseries.

3. Meet the experts on the tradeshow floor

The tradeshow floor at Dentsply Sirona World is always the place to be when guests aren't attending groundbreaking educational sessions. Attendees will get hands-on experience with the latest innovations and be the first to hear about new product launches. Make sure to catch live interviews with the experts at the media panel or see cutting-edge technology at work in the live procedure area. The tradeshow floor is always great for networking, so make sure to swing by to meet and mingle with the industry’s influencers, key opinion leaders and old friends from previous events.

4. Let loose and party with big name stars

Guests are definitely going to want to keep their Thursday and Friday nights clear! Dentsply Sirona is treating attendees to private shows from Grammy-nominated comedian, actor, writer and producer Jim Gaffigan and Grammy-nominated global popstar Katy Perry. Gaffigan will have you rolling on the floor with laughter on Thursday, Sept. 13 while you can sing along to your favorite songs with Perry on Friday, Sept. 14.

The fun doesn’t stop there! Throw on your dirndl or best pair of lederhosen and come party Oktoberfest-style at the Ultimate Dental Meeting’s closing party on Saturday, Sept. 15. This is the perfect send-off after spending three days learning from and meeting industry leaders.
