The International Dental Show, IDS 2021 will return as the premier springboard for developments in the dental medicine sector. During the IDS Cologne 2021 dates, professionals will benefit from quality trade, networking and a rich supporting programme.

Products are showcased and demonstrated live to much success at IDS Cologne. The exhibition covers a broad spectrum - dental drills and materials, disinfectants, cleaners, retention aids and more. With over 2,000 exhibitors and 160,000 visitors from all over the world, the fair is unrivalled in the scope of connection opportunities that it offers. The show floor is the perfect place to create new contacts, generate sales and network with industry leaders.

IDS 2021 will once again attract with an innovative and relevant programme. 3D printing and digital optimisation for dental medicine will feature heavily, while hygiene practices will be an emphasised theme due to the pandemic. The Speakers Corner and The Association of German Dental Technicians Guilds (VDZI) Meeting Point will present cutting edge research and know-how in various areas of dental technology and practice.
