Two topics stood out at this year’s IDS event: complete digital workflows and sustainability. Furthermore, a considerable number of companies presented AI apps.
After five days of exhibitions, the International Dental Show (IDS), which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, ended on the 18th of March. According to organiser Koelnmesse, 120,000 visitors from 162 countries attended, 60% of them from abroad. In total, 1,788 companies from 60 countries were present at the show, with more than 1,300 from abroad.
The overall feedback from exhibitors was very positive, with vice president of the Dental Trade Alliance and president of the International Dental Manufacturers, Fred Freedman, noting that IDS “is the biggest and best international dental meeting in the world. IDS 2023 can be summed up in one catchphrase: IDS is back”.
