There comes a moment in every private practice dentist’s journey when the work begins to feel heavier than fulfilling. The day-to-day demands, staffing challenges, and pressure to grow a business while staying connected to the deeper “why” behind your career can blur your clarity and dim your purpose.

If that moment sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re closer to the breakthrough than you think. "Commitment 2026" isn’t just another dental conference. It’s the transformational experience that many of the nation's top private dentists are already counting down to, and it could be the reset your life and practice truly need.

What Is “Commitment 2026” All About?

Hosted by the Academy for Private Dental Practice (APDP), Commitment 2026 is the premier annual event designed exclusively for elite private practice dentists who are ready to scale both professionally and personally. This isn’t about CE credits or one-size-fits-all tactics. It’s about connection, clarity, and commitment, at a level that reshapes your vision and reignites your fire.

Hosted in dynamic San Antonio, this gathering brings together the APDP community’s best minds for three days of deep learning, strategic breakthrough, and authentic collaboration. You’ll come away not only with powerful tools to grow your practice, but also with renewed certainty about the legacy you want to leave behind.

Why San Antonio, Why Now?

San Antonio isn’t just the location, it’s the launchpad. The energy of the city mirrors the spirit of the conference. It’s bold, inspiring, and rich with history and vision. With its vibrant culture and unmatched hospitality, the setting creates the perfect atmosphere for meaningful reflection and realignment.

Commitment 2026 is designed to hit at the right time. A time when distraction is high, leadership is lonely, and clarity feels elusive. It's a reset moment strategically placed on the calendar to help dentists refocus before burnout wins. And in an industry where high achievement often masks exhaustion, this level of strategic pause is both rare and necessary.
