The National Denturist Association holds its 2026 Annual Conference October 7–9 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The professional gathering serves denturists and related dental professionals through continuing education, association business, an exhibit hall and opportunities to discuss practice with colleagues. The association represents practitioners concerned with patients’ prosthetic needs and identifies professional education and public understanding of denturism as central parts of its work.

The conference program brings clinical, technical and business perspectives into the same meeting. The published speaker roster includes practitioners and educators with experience in removable prosthetics, digital denture workflows, implant-related laboratory work and dental technology. Other speakers bring backgrounds in practice-management software, compliance, nutrition, finance and team management. That range reflects the different responsibilities involved in operating a denture practice, from producing prostheses to managing documentation and maintaining a functioning business.

Among the listed participants are Patrick Allen, whose work includes digital workflows and denturist education, and Ruben Arebalo, whose background includes digital design and full-arch case planning. Dean Fenwick’s practice-management work includes technology for clinical documentation and patient communication. Tanya Little’s experience encompasses scanning, digital design, printing and milling. These backgrounds help define the conference’s professional audience without implying that every listed specialty is a separate session or certification.

The tentative schedule begins Wednesday with registration, a keynote general session and an association town hall. Thursday combines general sessions, concurrent breakouts, exhibit-hall time and a reception and dinner. Friday continues with education, a general membership meeting, exhibit activity and a closing keynote. Breakfasts, lunches and breaks provide additional intervals for professional conversation. The program identifies continuing-education hours beside several sessions, while the association notes that its schedule is subject to change.

Conference registration is open through the association’s official event page. This is an industry meeting with professional education and exhibits; it is not described as a public dental treatment clinic. The calendar entry covers the three conference dates, with actual attendance governed by the daily program and registration arrangements. The combination of instruction, association discussion and supplier contact gives the meeting a broader function than an individual training class.

History in Las Vegas

The association’s published 2024 magazine documents an earlier annual conference in Las Vegas, held October 2–4 at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. That record establishes a recent local edition at a different venue. The 2026 conference information instead names Planet Hollywood. The change in venue is relevant to returning participants because a familiar annual meeting name does not establish that the location remains the same. The available records support these specific editions without establishing an uninterrupted annual history at either property.

Location

Planet Hollywood is at 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard on the central Strip. The association’s hotel information identifies the resort as its conference property, placing accommodation and meeting functions at the same destination. Daily education sessions, exhibit access and social functions follow the association’s conference schedule. Room assignments and any later program changes remain part of the official event information. The Las Vegas meeting provides a shared setting for denturists to compare professional approaches, meet suppliers and take part in the business of their national association.
