Espire Dental Unites Team for All-Hands Conference in Denver

On May 9–10, 2025, Espire Dental is making a bold move that many dental organizations only imagine: they are shutting down operations and gathering their entire team for a two-day conference in Denver, Colorado. With over 450 team members flying in from various states including Cheyenne, Colorado Springs, California, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington State, this event promises to be extraordinary.

The theme for the conference is "Excellence in Action." This initiative is aimed at revitalizing team fulfillment, purpose, and a sense of community in a fast-paced world where many individuals often find themselves on autopilot. This gathering isn't merely a meeting; it serves as a much-anticipated reunion where professionals from every role in the company—dentists, hygienists, assistants, front office staff, and operational teams—come together under one roof.

For many attendees, this event will represent their first face-to-face meeting, despite collaborating daily across various locations. According to Tim Hill, CEO of Espire Dental, understanding their purpose is crucial. He expressed, "We’re not just gathering to talk about dentistry; we’re reconnecting with why we chose this profession in the first place—to restore confidence, serve with compassion, and pursue excellence during meaningful moments. This conference fosters our shared purpose and connection."

The agenda includes nationally recognized speakers like Todd Williams, who specializes in fostering people-first cultures in healthcare and hospitality, and Haley Rushing, co-founder of The Purpose Institute. Additionally, attendees will engage in customized workshops led by industry pioneers Janet Hagerman and Heidi Arndt, focusing on vital subjects such as communication skills, team alignment, ethical dentistry, and professional development.

Moreover, the event features the honorary "Espie Awards Gala," which celebrates individuals and teams who exemplify outstanding service, innovation, and significant patient impact. This year’s celebration evolved with double the vendor support compared to the previous conference, debuting Espire’s nine newly partnered teams from Washington.

Tim Hill emphasized that it's not just about programming with slides and breakout sessions; it’s about the essence of the conference—building culture. As COO Brooke Young stated, they want participants to leave feeling fulfilled, inspired, and proud of their contributions. The team hopes for attendees to walk away not only with new skills but with meaningful connections and a renewed sense of purpose.

Dr. Jennifer Derse, a co-founding dentist, added her insight, affirming that culture is intentionally built and collectively safeguarded.

With 39 locations across Colorado, California, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington, Espire Dental is not just a dental group; they are redefining patient experiences through comprehensive care and inspired hospitality. By investing in exceptional teams and modern technologies while ensuring pleasant environments, they assure both patients and team members can leave with smiles full of confidence.
