The event takes place from 24-26 May at the Harrogate International Centre. The event will feature 80 expert presenters and 129 exhibitors.

Over 3,000 delegates are expected to attend the event which takes place a year after fundamental changes to NHS dentistry and at a time of changing patterns in the way dental care in the UK is delivered. Headline speakers tackling the political issues include BDA Executive Board Chair Susie Sanderson and a representative of the Department of Health. Doug Richard, star of BBC Television series Dragon's Den, will give this year's keynote address on the theme of entrepreneurship.

This year's clinical programme includes top speakers from the UK and overseas including Didier Dietschi of the University of Geneva discussing new perspectives in conservative aesthetic dentistry; Jack Ferracane of the Oregon Health and Science University providing a critical assessment of dental adhesives and dental composites; and Iain Chapple of the University of Birmingham looking at new developments in technology and the management of periodontal diseases.

Among the wealth of other subjects being tackled at the event will be sessions examining trends in consumer behaviour and dental health, asking whether marketing is degrading dentistry and investigating the work of forensic dentists.
