Australia’s premier dental industry event just got a whole lot bigger.

The Australian Dental Industry Association (ADIA) and the Australian Dental Association of NSW (ADA NSW) have combined to deliver the largest oral health and networking event of 2022.

ADX Sydney and the Sydney International Dental Conference (SIDCON22) will be held over four days - 16 to 19 March 2022 - at the Sydney International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour.

SIDCON22 16-17 March, 2022, is a new event showcasing International Speakers presenting the latest breakthroughs, regulations, news and insights. From SIDCON22 delegates will go straight to Australia’s premier dental industry event, ADX Sydney 17-19 March.

A highlight of the combined event will be the Wednesday evening ferry ride from Darling Harbour to Luna Park to watch the sun set over the Harbour and play your part in what will be Australia’s largest oral health networking event.

“This event is a great opportunity to further empower dental professionals and improve the delivery of oral health for all Australians,” said ADA NSW President Dr Kathleen Matthews.

“The combination of ADX Sydney and SIDCON22 underlines our commitment to delivering the best possible value for our respective members.

"I expect the combined event will bring more than 10,000 delegates through the doors and over the next six years grow to be one of the largest oral health events in the Asia Pacific Region,” said ADIA CEO Kym De Britt.

The award categories and submission process, convened by the ADIA, are designed not only as an industry accolade but also as a way to reflect on business and goals going forward.

Martin Weigold, Managing Director of Dentsply Sirona Australia said the submission was a great chance for his team to look back at all they had achieved and focus on what's next. "The submission process was actually very thorough. It made us really think about what we have done during the year of the pandemic and focus on our internal resources. It was a really reflective process," Mr Weigold said.

"It's incredibly encouraging to see such a vibrant industry coming out of what was an extremely difficult year. I look forward to seeing the talent and high standards present this year, in next year's submissions," Mr De Britt said.
