About this list.
This list covers the speakers who taught practice management systems, scheduling and capacity, financial performance, coding, insurance, reimbursement, collections and office administration at dentistry's major continuing-education meetings in 2026. Planners usually know this subject as practice management, dental insurance and coding, or revenue cycle.
Placement reflects breadth of platform: how widely a speaker taught across dentistry's major continuing-education meetings in one calendar year. It is not a measure of teaching quality, speaker fees or audience ratings. Every appearance shown on this page links to the organizer's own published program.
11 speakers met the qualification threshold in this category for 2026. The 5 highest-placing are named. Speakers with equal standing share a place. Being listed reflects where a speaker taught this year. It does not mean they work only in dentistry.

Earned on stage, not voted on.
Built from published programs.
Every appearance traces to the organizer's own program. No self-reported bios, no bureau listings, no nominations.
Breadth across the profession.
The Index rewards speakers chosen by many of dentistry's major meetings, not many sessions at one of them.
Membership changes nothing.
SCN members and non-members are ranked on the same evidence. Membership is added only after places are final.
