The Summit is bringing together a unique group of business, legal, marketing, HR, staffing and technology thought leaders. Event organizers said that when selecting speakers and panelists they deliberately expanded their search beyond the “usual suspects,” the core group of experts often appearing at industry events.
“We felt it was time to get some fresh perspectives on what’s happening in the DSO world, especially as it relates to emerging groups,” said HR for Health’s DSO Summit Director, Kimberly Fuller, CMP. “Our goal is to provide new insights on the obstacles and opportunities that lie ahead for DSOs with three to seventy-five locations. In many ways, their concerns are very different from those of larger dental groups.”
