Australia’s premier dental event, ADX will be held in Melbourne from 30 March - 1 April 2023. The exhibition, run by the Australian Dental Industry Association (ADIA), will showcase the latest in oral health technology, while inspiring industry professionals to grow their business.

Running alongside the exhibition is the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program, presented by ADAVB. CPD enhances oral health professionals’ clinical practice and improves patient outcomes.

The program includes more than 70 sessions over three full days. Those in attendance have the opportunity to hear from Dr Luan Ngo, on how to maintain a periodontal patient. Dr Ngo will answer the question ‘What would the periodontist want me to do?’ at his expert session on day three of the CPD program at ADX Melbourne.

To maximise the education offering at the event, ADIA is pleased to present the Avant Dental Learning Lab which will host complimentary learning lab sessions throughout the exhibition, featuring a variety of professional speakers. While the CPD Program provides further clinical education, the Learning Labs are business-focused, with a priority on skills that support efficiency and profitability.

Feedback from the CPD Program and Learning Labs at ADX Sydney and ADX Brisbane in 2022 was outstanding, with strong attendance at all sessions. One visitor stated she was impressed with the wide range of presenters from different specialties.

“For me as a dentist, my ethos is you always want to learn and continually grow. This is just a fabulous event to mingle with other colleagues.”

CPD tickets are on sale now. You can register for one, two or all three days. There are discounts in place for ADA members.

ADX, Australia’s largest dental exhibition has been evolving since 2020. No longer exclusive to Sydney, the show now operates across three cities - Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane – every 24 months. Following the success of ADX Melbourne in 2021, show organiser, Australian Dental Industry Association, is pleased to announce another full-strength ADX on the horizon for the Victorian capital.

Despite the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the related business shutdowns, the Australian oral health sector has continued to grow. The IBIS Dental Services Report released in August this year showed growth in dental services of 1.4% with revenue of $10.6 billion and a profit of 26.8%.

Mr Kym De Britt, CEO of the Australian Dental Industry Association points out that continued growth for practitioners means a further requirement for dentistry-specific products and services. “The market has dictated increasing demand for the latest in oral health technology, innovation, and services. That market is not exclusive to Sydney, so neither is ADX. What was previously a biennial event held only in Sydney has grown to three events across three cities in the same time span.

Our first event in Melbourne last year was a great success and we look forward to welcoming more oral health professionals back to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre next March.” Mr De Britt said.  

With the additional shows now a permanent fixture on the calendar, the next ADX will be held in Melbourne from 30 March - 1 April 2023.

The exhibition is not only about access to state-of-the-art products and world-class suppliers, but the events that run alongside ADX, with breakfast events, free onsite childcare, as well as CPD and Learning Lab sessions.

The exhibition traditionally kicks off with the Opening Breakfast. Melbourne will feature Founder and CEO of social enterprise, Who Gives a Crap, Simon Griffiths. Like past keynote speakers, Griffiths is expected to entertain and inspire, delivering an audience full of energy to the exhibition floor when the show opens.

ADIA’s Women in Dentistry founded in 2020 promotes the professional advancement of women in the oral health sector through networking, mentoring and education. With this focus on career progression and celebration, the always popular Women in Dentistry Breakfast. this time featuring international keynote speaker Lucy Bloom is sure to be at capacity.

The breakfasts, CPD program and Learning Lab sessions all add networking and tangible education opportunities for visitors. This teamed with the excitement of the People’s Choice Awards, exhibitor attractions including free gelato, smoothie bikes, mini golf and prize draws, along with the car giveaway, all add to the atmosphere at Australia’s premier dental event.

“Visitors at ADX experience the best the industry has to offer. The vibe is fantastic. It’s a pleasure to walk in every day and just feel the buzz around the room,” Mr De Britt said.

Interest in the event is already clear with booths sold out and a waitlist in place for exhibitors. More than 5,000 dental professionals enjoyed all ADX Melbourne had to offer in 2021. In 2023 the number promises to climb, so registering early will ensure you gain first access to all the additional value of the show including free childcare, an expert CPD program and networking breakfasts.

You can register for free entry to the exhibition or purchase tickets to any of the events by heading to the ADX Melbourne website.
