What if you could meet two dozen seasoned speakers—each with years (or decades) of experience—all in one place, on one powerful day, in one beautifully choreographed event?
That’s the magic of DSIx Speaking Xtravaganza, happening September 10, 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona.
For planners, it’s a one-stop-shop for discovering talent. For speakers, it’s a rare chance to be seen, recorded, and remembered.
And let’s be clear: this isn’t a cattle call. It’s a curated collection of veteran speakers presenting their best 10 minutes in a room filled with decision-makers. It’s the scouting opportunity we wish existed when we were all first building our calendars.
For the Planners (and Those Who Book Speakers)
You’re busy. You don’t have time to sit through hundreds of hours of video or wade through emails and speaker packets to find your next breakout presenter.
DSIx simplifies it.
You’ll experience two dozen speakers, live, across a wide range of topics – clinical, leadership, communication, wellness, marketing, business growth, and more. These aren’t newcomers testing the waters. They’re professionals who’ve stepped forward to be seen – many with decades of experience on stages across the country.
This event offers planners the rare opportunity to discover established voices and emerging perspectives alike – all in one room, all in one day.
You’ll get:
- A full day to scout talent—not squeezed between breakout sessions or vendor booths
- A full day to sit with the speakers and get to know them and their topics
- Access to video footage post-event, so you can revisit standout moments
- First-in-line visibility for speakers actively booking next year’s calendar
- No fee to attend. No strings attached. Planners attend on us.
No pressure. No pitches. Just connection.
For the Speakers
If you’ve ever wished someone could just see you on stage – to hear the way you deliver your message, feel your energy, witness how the audience leans in – this is your moment.
And not just once. Because this event will be:
- Filmed (optional add-on): professionally shot footage of your 10-minute talk
- Photographed: stage shots will be captured. We encourage you to schedule a session with our seasoned branding & event photographer (optional.)
- Broadcast live: streamed through social media and followed by planners and event organizers far beyond the room
- Shared and searchable: your video continues to work for you, long after the applause ends
And perhaps most valuable of all… you’ll be in the room with planners. Not at a crowded mega-conference where everyone’s chasing attention. This is intimate. Intentional. Impactful.
Two Levels of Speaker Participation
We offer two ways to participate, depending on your goals and visibility needs:
Speaker Showcase Spot – Includes:
- One 10-minute talk in front of a live audience (meeting planners and fellow experts/influencers)
- Opportunity to connect with planners throughout the day (breakfast, lunch, networking)
- Listing on our DSIx webpage and promotion in our event marketing
Speaker Showcase VIP Package – Includes all the above, plus:
- Premium placement in the speaker lineup
- Bonus: Two 90 minute speech development coaching sessions with Vanessa Emerson, FDSI
A Unique, Not-To-Be-Missed Experience
DSIx isn’t just another speaking event. It’s an opportunity multiplier.
Planners can fill their calendar in a single day. Speakers can capture content that elevates their brand for years. And all of it happens in an environment designed to foster connection, not competition.
2025 was our first year presenting DSIx as a standalone event (previously part of our WEvolution meeting), and we’re thrilled to open this experience to speakers and scouts from dentistry and beyond – corporate events, associations, and more.
The stage is set. The spotlight is waiting. We’ve saved you a seat.
Will we see you there?
