This article was going to cover all the exciting things we have planned for CandidCon 2026—and it still will. 

But we have some news…CandidCon 2026 is officially sold out!

If you were thinking about joining us for CandidCon 2026, please join the wait list in case there are cancellations.

We’re planning on expanding CandidCon 2027 even more. If you’d like to join us next year, please fill out this form. You’ll be the first to know when registrations open

Until then, here’s a preview of what we’re offering at this year’s event. 

A bigger, better CandidCon 

In 2025, we hosted our first CandidCon event in Orlando. It was a magical experience that’s helped participants improve their skills, grow their practices, and develop a peer community. 

This year, we’re expanding this event with more speakers, more ways to connect, and more attendees. 

Our 2025 attendees placed a winning bet

The practices who joined us for our first CandidCon took a risk. It was our first CandidCon event, and nobody could be 100% certain how it would go.

It was better than we could have hoped for.

Attendees were engaged. Our mentors were inspiring. And the lasting impact has been tangible.

In fact, within the first five months after CandidCon, participating practices averaged a 60% increase in their clear aligner case volume. 

And with what we have in store for 2026, we expect to see even better results. 

Our most in-demand educators

For this year’s event, we’re bringing back some familiar faces and adding some new ones as well. 

Like last year, you can expect engaging sessions from Dr. Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal from 3D Dentists and our Chief Dental Officer, Dr. Brian Gray.

We’ve also booked our Vice President of Clinical Education, Dr. Ben Miraglia, to deliver an in-depth session on airway-friendly orthodontics. 

If you’ve experienced Dr. Miraglia on one of our webinars, you know how eye-opening his talks can be. Seeing him lecture face-to-face is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. 

We’ll also welcome some of our CandidPro Orthodontists to CandidCon this year, including Dr. Perry Stevenson, for a special panel discussion. This unprecedented access to the minds behind the movement gives providers invaluable insight into every case they treat. 

More advanced clinical topics

CandidCon 2025 attendees shared that they wanted to see more advanced clinical topics covered at subsequent CandidCon events. And we delivered. 

This year, we’re offering a customizable doctor learning track that dives deeper into tooth movement philosophies that will help attendees deliver even more predictable results to their patients. 

There’s more for hygienists, assistants, and other practice team members too, with sessions covering chair side conversation management, billing best practices, and more. 

Post-event support and community engagement

Just like CandidCon 2025, this year’s event offers learning and growth opportunities well beyond our two days together. 

At the event, we’ll help each team set achievable goals for their clear aligner business and build step-by-step roadmaps to help them reach them.

Then, our CandidCon Mentors will follow up with each team at regular intervals throughout the year to keep practices accountable to their goals and offer ongoing support. 

Beyond that, CandidCon 2026 attendees will gain exclusive access to our online community for peer support, knowledge sharing, and lots of fun. 

Ready to hit the strip?

We are so excited to welcome all of our CandidCon 2026 attendees to Las Vegas in just a few months. If you have any questions leading up to the event, please contact our Director of Practice Development, Jennifer Pinder. 

And, if you’re unable to join us this year, make sure to fill out our interest form for CandidCon 2027
