Events That Connect, Inspire, and Empower

Opportunities to learn, grow, and belong

From national retreats to intimate local meetups, DeW events bring women in dentistry together to share knowledge, spark inspiration, and build meaningful connections. Each gathering is designed to uplift and empower you, professionally and personally—so you leave renewed, equipped, and part of something bigger.

The DeW Life Retreat

Our signature annual gathering of women leaders

The DeW Life Retreat is a transformative experience where women in dentistry come together to connect, learn, and lead with purpose. Over three inspiring days, you’ll engage in empowering sessions, honest conversations, and unforgettable moments.

From thought-provoking panels to late-night laughter and reflection, the retreat offers space to grow both personally and professionally. Whether it’s your first DeW event or your seventh, you’ll leave recharged, supported, and part of a powerful community shaping the future of dentistry, together.

DeW Learning Crew

Monthly sessions to grow your knowledge

The DeW Learning Crew is where members come together each month to learn, share, and lead. These interactive sessions are designed to expand your knowledge and spotlight the incredible expertise within our community.

Members have the opportunity to host and present on their area of passion or specialty, giving them a platform to shine while inspiring others. Each Learning Crew features topics that help women in dentistry grow both personally and professionally, while connecting through authentic dialogue and shared experience.

The DeW Summit

An upcoming gathering for ambitious women

The DeW Summit is our next evolution, a powerful, large-scale experience designed to unite women in dentistry who are leading change across the industry. Held twice a year, this event will go beyond inspiration to deliver strategy, leadership development, and impact. Stay tuned, something extraordinary is on the horizon.
