LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The 5th annual Scaling Up Group Dental Symposium will return to Louisville, Kentucky on August 21-23, 2019 at the new Omni Louisville Hotel located in the heart of downtown. Hosted by Mortenson Dental Partners, a dental service organization (DSO) comprised of over 145 affiliated dental practices across nine states, the three-day event will allow attendees to study and explore the best practices of group dentistry alongside other DSO representatives, dental professionals and related industry leaders.
Created to be a forum of conversation about the group dental industry, Scaling Up Group Dental Symposium has quickly become one of the top DSO conferences in the country since its inception in 2015. The conference teaches dental practice representatives how to scale their operation if they seek to grow independently, or if they are considering joining a DSO.
To kick off the symposium, Mortenson Dental Partners will host a "Behind the Scenes Tour" at the Mortenson Dental Partner Support Center. The exclusive tour will pull back the curtain on certain services and departments that are instrumental in running and supporting a growing DSO, such as patient services; accounting and payroll; billing and collections; marketing; human resources and benefits; and several others.
A robust agenda is set for the 2019 event, featuring leaders from nationally recognized DSOs and dental industry experts whom will drill into topics such as strategic development, effective leadership, business intelligence, talent recruitment, real estate and more that will help attendees scale their practices to the next level. Highlights of the confirmed speakers include:
- Dr. Wayne Mortenson, Founder, Mortenson Dental Partners
- Bill Becknell, CEO, Mortenson Dental Partners
- Steve DeLong, CEO, Bluetree Dental
- Dr. Rob Safrit, CEO, Family Health Dental
- Cecile Schauer, VP, Marketing & Operations, Patterson Dental

In addition to opportune moments throughout the conference to network, a more formal networking reception will be held at Louisville's iconic Muhammed Ali Center. The Louisville landmark is a multicultural center with an award-winning museum dedicated to the life and legacy of Muhammed Ali, a Louisville native. Guests will also have the opportunity to go on a tour of the Muhammed Ali Center after it is closed to the public.
