The event will provide a full day of structured training designed to help dental professionals build or expand their roles as Key Opinion Leaders. According to event organizer Marty Jablow, DMD, “The KOL Booth Camp will provide dental professionals with the skills and confidence they need to take their influence to the next level. They will return to the office on Monday with a clear action plan to kick-start or accelerate their KOL journeys.”

The training will be delivered through eight modules. These include an introduction to the KOL role, characteristics of an effective KOL, building a professional reputation, using social media for influence, collaborating with brands and manufacturers, the role of education and mentorship, common challenges, and a personal action planning session. The day will conclude with a Q&A.
