2026 3D Summit Recap: Small Steps, Big Future
The 2026 3D Summit was more than a continuing education event—it was a reminder that the right community, education, and small decisions can create a much bigger future.
In this episode, T-Bone and Meredith look back at the 2026 3D Summit, which took place in Orlando this past March. From standout speakers and clinical insights to team-building moments at Universal and late-night karaoke, they recap the education, connection, and culture that made this year’s event one of 3D’s strongest yet.
They share the lessons attendees can apply inside their own practices, including how to lead through difficult change, empower team members, create a modern patient experience, and build a practice that can grow beyond one doctor. From social media and technology to culture, case acceptance, clinical excellence, and leadership, this episode captures what it means to be serious about winning—without taking yourself too seriously.
