Most of us show up to a dental CE, grab our badge, sit in a ballroom, and don’t think twice about what it actually takes to pull the thing off.

But what’s it really like to run one of these events?

How much do room blocks actually cost?

What happens if people don’t show up?

Are sponsors footing the bill… or is the organizer rolling the dice?

And is it really worse than planning a wedding?

In this episode, we sit down with Minal Sampat, who has been running dental CE events for years (and sells them out). She takes us behind the curtain into the numbers, the chaos, and the last-minute fires you never hear about.
