Back to Day 2 for a sec : Leadership, real talk, no filter.

The standout: “Leadership Isn’t Pretty: Hard Truths from the Top”, five women who lead at the top, a panel moderated by Jill Hasselmann, with Samantha Strain, Anne Duffy, Kristi Casey & Stephenie Goddard, getting real about what it actually takes to lead.

Workshops, hallway chats, honest moments , this is what “getting honest about growth” looks like.

It’s the final day of the Summit. Let’s finish strong

Not another dental conference. And that's exactly the point.

The Dental Leadership Summit is built for leaders who want to do more than sit in a room and take notes.

Three days of:

→ Candid conversations with leaders who've been there
→ Peer-to-peer learning
→ Hands-on workshops
→ Real strategies for hiring, growth, technology, leadership, acquisitions, and more

You'll hear from leaders like Pat Bauer, Kristi Casey, Blair Primis, Jill Nesbitt, Ashley Bond, Brandi Marzolino, Devin Amberg, Ali Oromchian, JD, LL.M, and more — but the real value happens when the conversation moves beyond the stage.

Come ready to participate. Leave with ideas you can actually put to work.

Leadership Labs is where the journey began.

It’s where leaders gained clarity, tackled challenges, and left with a plan for what’s next.

But growth doesn’t stop there.

The Dental Leadership Summit is where those conversations expand into new perspectives, deeper relationships, and bigger opportunities. Through curated workshops, industry-leading speakers, meaningful networking, and immersive experiences, leaders step away from the day-to-day to focus on what comes next.

Your journey to growth continues.

Yesterday was exactly what Dental Leadership Labs was designed to be: practical, collaborative, and focused on the decisions operators are actively navigating right now.

Throughout the day, attendees rolled up their sleeves and worked through real-world growth challenges alongside industry leaders and peers facing similar complexities.

The morning began with Planning with the Exit in Mind, where Brian Christensen, Christy Ratcliff, and Brett Pierce of 7 Pillars, alongside Jake Berry of MB2 Dental, unpacked how ownership structures, deal terms, equity alignment, and strategic decisions made today can shape future enterprise value. Operators had the opportunity to pressure-test real scenarios and gain visibility into how buyers, investors, and partners evaluate growing organizations.

From there, attendees shifted into Due Diligence in Acquisitions with Ralf Tomandl, working through case-based exercises that highlighted the people, compliance, and operational risks that often go unnoticed until after a transaction is complete.

The day concluded with the People Operating System Sprints led by Vanessa Buchheit, where groups mapped out practical frameworks for creating consistency across locations, strengthening leadership accountability, and reducing operational chaos as organizations scale.

What made the day special wasn’t just the content. It was the willingness of everyone in the room to openly share experiences, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another.

Thank you to every speaker, facilitator, and attendee who contributed to such a thoughtful and engaging day. And a special thank you to the entire 7 Pillars team for their incredible partnership and collaboration in bringing Leadership Labs Dallas to life. We’re grateful for the expertise, energy, and shared commitment to helping operators build stronger organizations.

What happens when you put a founder who recently led a successful DSO exit, a growth executive who has navigated multiple private equity-backed transactions, a strategic advisor who helps operators structure deals every day, and an HR leader who has seen the people side of scaling up close in the same room?

You get a conversation that goes far beyond valuations and transaction timelines!

Our fireside chat, Building a DSO with the Exit in Focus, challenged attendees to think differently about growth. The discussion explored how enterprise value is created long before a transaction, the leadership decisions that either strengthen or weaken an organization over time, and the importance of building infrastructure that can support both scale and optionality.

A huge thank you to Alix Laurain, Brian Christensen, CFA of 7 Pillars, and Mike Gergen of EviDent Alliance, for bringing candor, perspective, and real-world experience to the conversation and to our partners Spear Education, Cain Watters & Associates, and Elite Enterprise.

The biggest takeaway? The operators who create the most options for themselves later are often the ones making intentional decisions long before they ever think about an exit.

An incredible way to kick off Dental Leadership Labs Dallas. Get ready! We’re gearing up for a full day of workshops featuring Ralf Tomandl and Vanessa Buchheit of HR for Health. Stay tuned!
