This past January in Anaheim, California, SleepCon 2026 delivered in a way that set a high bar for dental sleep medicine events. We hosted our largest vendor hall ever, our most expansive lecturer lineup to date, and a massive turnout of growth-focused clinicians ready to elevate their sleep practices.
