IDS 2023 awaits
IDS 2023 will be held from 14 to 18 March in Messe Cologne. The upcoming 40th International Dental Show is awaited by the dental sector for the plethora of networking, marketing and procurement opportunities it represents. By taking part in IDS Cologne 2023, dental professionals will get a full overview of the unmissable industry trends and product premieres, plus information on best practices, current developments and research findings.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in structural changes for the previous IDS Cologne, with the edition becoming the first hybrid International Dental Show. Approximately 830 exhibitors from 59 nations and over 23,000 visitors from 114 nations gathered together in Cologne to discuss the advancements in dentistry and to explore innovative dental technology. Meanwhile, professionals who were unable to attend in person accessed the event digitally through the IDSconnect platform. The platform made a welcome addition to the IDS experience and will remain a beneficial feature of IDS 2023.
Some of the highlights at IDS Cologne 2023 will include new solutions concerning periodontal prophylaxis, aesthetic dental restorations, aligner therapy, as well as dental AI applications.
As the world's leading event for the dental industry, IDS Cologne receives a very international audience - according to the latest statistics, dental experts from 114 countries came to Cologne to join the 39th IDS trade fair. The International Dental Show 2023 expects a significant increase in the number of participants.
