Hey everyone, welcome to the Group Dentistry Now show. I'm Bill Newman and as always we appreciate you joining us. Uh it's actually so great to have Brian on because he's done this podcast and many others so many times that there's really no prep at all that we have to do. Normally there's 10 minutes of prep prior to this and Brian looks down, he's got notes, he's like, okay, I'm ready to go 15 seconds later. So it's good to have you back, Brian.
Always love being here, Bill, and I say this every time. It never gets old. I always love sitting down with you and talking about, you know, my favorite topic, some aspect of the DSO industry we always end up talking about. And it never gets old for me. Thanks again for having me.
Yeah, and it's and it's always changing. And it's never it's never the same conversation. So we are going to talk about the which I can't believe it, but it's the thirteenth annual Dykoma DSO conference, thirteenth, son of a gun. Uh so we're gonna
I mean, you wrote that incredible article. I think it was the third one. It was the one we had in the train station. You know, you didn't miss much. I don't think you were there for one or two. And I'm glad because you probably wouldn't like us too much if you were. But you came at the third one, which, you know, was really the first, you know, one that I think we have substance. We had a few hundred people there, and it was down in the train station. And I always remember you wrote a really kind and a really nice article about it. And we weren't nearly, you know, as well known then. And I really appreciated that.
Well, thank you. And I I'll have to say, sitting in the audience, I didn't understand half of what the heck anybody was saying, but I I learned. So it took me a little while, but it was there was a lot of great information. I think you had somebody there from
What is the Dykema DSO Conference and why is it a must‑attend event?
uh if it was the Texas Dental Association or there was there was a lot of talk about some of the legislation that was going on in Texas at that time. But yeah, really, really interesting conversation. It was in the I think it was in the basement of the Aloft Hotel, if I remember.
There used to be a train station. They turned it into the A Loft Hotel. And yeah, that you know, uh we we got about three hundred and something people there, and we'd only planned on about a hundred or so at the Omni, because we had as you as the story goes, 41, then we had 75. And I thought, well, maybe I could get to a hundred. And I never thought I'd get to three hundred, so we had to move out of the omni. They didn't have any space. For us, and the only thing, I mean, the thought, Bill, of doing that today in 2026, securing space in like 30 days or something is ridiculous. But our event team back, uh, that would have been about 10 years ago, was able to secure that space. It was a brand new hotel, it just opened their basement, which used to be a train station, was available.
This big cavernous space, and we were were able to secure it on like one month's notice.
I had no idea. That's a great backstory. So um So we're of course back in uh Denver at the Gaylord Rockies uh July 15th through the 17th, although those dates are a little deceiving because so many people get there early and so many people leave late. So it's become pretty much a week-long event.
Yeah, you know, it has. It's become like, you know, whatever people say, Oscar's week or this week or something. It it really starts. People come in often on that Sunday or, you know, that Monday and they stay till Saturday or even later sometimes.
So we'll we'll dig a little bit deeper into the agenda that you have uh in front of you and we'll s be soon to it'll be soon on your website and we'll have it on our website as well.
