The New Zealand Dental Congress 2026 brought together the dental community for an unforgettable celebration of connection, collaboration, learning and innovation.

Hosted at the brand-new New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland from 27 – 29 August, the Congress brought together the New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA), New Zealand Oral Health Association (NZOHA), and New Zealand Institute of Dental Technologists (NZIDT) for a truly special event.

From inspiring scientific sessions and hands-on learning to a buzzing industry expo, meaningful networking and a vibrant social programme, the Congress was filled with energy, ideas and opportunities to connect across the profession.

To our sponsors and industry partners, thank you for your invaluable support and for bringing the latest innovations, products and ideas to our shared expo.

To our speakers, thank you for sharing your expertise, insights and passion with our delegates.

And most importantly, to every single person who attended, thank you for being part of this milestone event. Your enthusiasm, participation and support created the energy that made the Congress so memorable.

Bringing three organisations and their communities together under one roof was a significant achievement, and we are incredibly proud of what we created together.

Thank you for making the New Zealand Dental Congress 2026 one to remember! 

Save the date for the NZDA Conference 2027, being held from 19 - 21 August at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.
