The two-day congress focused on the needs of young dentists who were at the beginning of their professional career. This gave young dentists the opportunity of exchanging personal experiences with long-standing owners of dental practices and to find encouragement for their own career as dentists. "We want to inform, inspire and motivate the next generation for their professional future and career", is how Michael Ludwig, Managing Director of the CAMLOG Vertriebs GmbH, explained the innovative further education format. On the first day of the congress, experienced practice owners gave practice-oriented presentations with a wealth of information about the challenges of starting up a practice, practice management as well as giving useful tips to the delegates. On the second day, the young dentists were able to join the action: in nine different workshops they were given valuable fundamental knowledge in the areas of business administration, practice concepts, personnel management, marketing and implant dentistry. In addition, CAMLOG raffled eight consultation days among the delegates. A successful practice – getting it right The different success stories of the speakers showed: there is no panacea.
