Espire Dental Brings Company Together for All-Hands Conference in Denver, CO
'Excellence in Action' Theme Inspires a Culture of Purpose, Passion, and People-First Dentistry DENVER, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 9–10, 2025, Espire Dental will do something most dental groups only dream of: shut down operations, pack up scrubs and slacks, and invite every team member together. From Cheyenne to Colorado Springs, California, Oklahoma, Texas, and now, Washington State, more than 450 team members will gather under one roof in Denver for a two-day, high-energy, high-impact all-hands conference. The theme? Excellence in Action, with a mission to reignite team member fulfillment, purpose, and connection in a world that too often runs on autopilot. This event isn't just a meeting. It's a dental chairs to back offices to behind-the-scenes support, every role across Espire is showing up: doctors, hygienists, dental assistants, front office teams, operations, billing, and everyone in between. For some, it will be the first time meeting face-to-face, despite collaborating daily across locations. The agenda features national speakers like Todd Williams, a healthcare and hospitality specialist building people-first cultures, and Haley Rushing, Co-Founder of The Purpose Institute. Attendees will also participate in custom workshops led by industry trailblazers, Janet Hagerman and Heidi Arndt, focused on communication, alignment, ethical dentistry, and professional development. 'We're not just gathering to talk about dentistry,' said Tim Hill, CEO of Espire Dental. 'We're here to remember why we chose it in the first place—to restore confidence, to serve people with compassion, and to pursue excellence in the moments that matter most. This conference reconnects us to our purpose and each other.' Other highlights include the beloved red-carpet event and Espire Awards ('Espie Awards Gala'), which recognize individuals and teams for outstanding service, innovation, and patient impact. This year's celebration is also bigger than ever, with double the vendor support compared to Espire's 2023 conference, plus the first-time appearance of Espire's nine newly partnered teams from Washington State. Yes, there will be presentation slides and breakout sessions, but there will also be hugs, high-fives, dance moves, and a great deal of personal and professional growth. What makes this conference special isn't just the programming, it's the culture. The conference planning committee works hand-in-hand with the leadership team to evolve the experience each year to keep it honest, energizing, and deeply meaningful for all attendees. 'We want our people to leave this event with more than new skills,' said Brooke Young, COO. 'We want them to leave with full hearts, inspired minds, and a deep sense of pride in their work.' 'Culture like this doesn't happen by accident,' said Co-Founding Dentist, Dr. Jennifer Derse. 'We build it together, and we protect it together.'
