Technology & Digital Dentistry Speakers, 2026.
Speakers who taught digital workflows and dental technology at dentistry's biggest meetings in 2026. Unranked and alphabetical: too few speakers qualified in this category to make a ranking meaningful.
The 2026 list, A to Z.
The Dental Speaker Index 2026 lists two speakers in Technology & Digital Dentistry, in alphabetical order and without ranking: Shannon Pace Brinker and Brian Goodacre.
Digital workflows, intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM, 3-D printing, imaging technology, equipment and practice software.
This is not a ranking: there are no places, and the order means nothing.

About this list.
This list covers the speakers who taught digital workflows, intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM, 3-D printing, imaging technology, equipment and practice software at dentistry's major continuing-education meetings in 2026. It is unranked for 2026 and shown in alphabetical order, because too few speakers qualified in this category to make a ranking meaningful.
The order is alphabetical by last name and carries no meaning; nobody on it has been given a place. The Index records where dentistry's program committees chose to put their podium time, and 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.
Being listed reflects where a speaker taught this year. It does not mean they work only in dentistry.

Earned on stage, not voted on.
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.
