CloserStill Media, organiser of the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show, have taken the decision to postpone the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show (BDCDS). The 2020 event will now take place on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 May 2021 at the Birmingham NEC, hall 5.

Martin Woodrow, Chief Executive of the British Dental Association (BDA), said: 'It's a real shame that we can't hold what would have been an excellent conference and exhibition this year, but in the circumstances, postponing the 2020 event has to be the right thing to do and I'm sure the 2021 event will be bigger and better than ever!'

In the meantime the event organisers will be focussing on how they can support the profession as they prepare to return to their practice and resume some normality during a very testing time for dentistry.

The BDCDS is the UK's leading two-day exhibition and conference for dental professionals, providing clinical, leadership and practical training via an extensive educational programme and hands-on workshops. It is the UK's largest event of its kind, attracting over 9,000 unique delegates and over 400 exhibitors.

The 2021 event will still be co-located with The Dental Technology Showcase.
