Includes Two Special Panels:

Panel #1: The Future Of Capital Investors And What They Are Looking For… Led By Karan Garg at Houlihan Lokey

As groups move up the ladder of success, they reach a point where they must consider equity financing. A panel led by Karan Gard. a director in Houlihan Lokey, the leader in investment banking in the dental space, along with a CEO of a mid-sized DSO and an Equity Partner. The panel will be addressing those many questions that every growing group needs answered: how to position themselves and qualify for equity financing; what are the benefits, what are the costs of equity financing; and how does equity financing impact the culture and operations of the group?

Panel #2: Profits Fund Your Future: Increasing Profitability in Your Dental Group… Led By Ken Cooper at North American Dental Group

Profits fund your practices’ future. Whether it’s used for acquisition (practices, people or equipment), or to enhance your EBITDA for equity funding, profit is a key component to your lasting success. This panel — geared toward large-group executives and masters of profitability — will answer questions about their models and methods. One key focus: How do you “squeeze more” out of what you have to generate greater profit margins?
