OrthoPreneurs Summit • September 8-10, 2022 
• Austin, Texas
Why is OrthoPreneurs Summit THE one event
Every Orthodontist Should Attend?
Because Orthodontists don't have a lot of time, Dr. Glenn Krieger, a fellow orthodontist created a meeting with the best speakers to help his peers reduce their stress and increase their profitability.

Most orthodontists work so hard at becoming great technicians, but let's face it, they could use help mastering marketing, hiring, managing, financial management, culture building, and HR. 

Summit is a meeting where you can join successful business leaders and experienced doctors who are ready to share new ideas, tactics, and strategies that will grow your bottom line, simplify day-to-day operations, and improve your patients lives... 

AND you can put them to work into your practice as soon as you return home.

There Are Two Types of Orthodontists
Which one are you:
THE FIRST doctor wakes up early worrying about if their team members are going to show up or how they are going to staff a full team. The morning meeting is low energy and the doctor feels like they are the only one that cares in the whole office. Throughout the day, many things happen that shouldn't and by the time this poor clinician gets home, they are worn out, beaten up emotionally, and might even second-guess their career choice.

THE SECOND doctor jumps out of bed eager to seize another amazing day with their fantastic team. The morning meeting is run by the team leader and everybody is "pumped" to have an amazing day. Everyone covers for each other when they need help and at the end of the day, have a sense that they have done great work. And everyone leaves together. The doctor gets home and has the energy and positive attitude to give even more of themselves to those who matter the most in the world to them.
IF YOU ARE NOT THE SECOND TYPE OF DOCTOR, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. 
ORTHOPRENEURS SUMMIT CAN HELP YOU GET THERE.

Up to 15 hours of CE covering critical information focused on building a successful, profitable practice on your terms.
You belong here. OP Summit is unlike any other conference. It all starts with fantastic speakers—each one a successful business leader or experienced ortho ready to share new ideas, tactics, and strategies working today that you can put to work in your practice today and grow your bottom line.

Just one of these insights could add thousands of dollars to your bottom line. And if you implement more than one? It’s like putting your business on steroids.
What makes OP Summit the best
event for orthodontists and their teams?
The lineup of presenters is world-class. You and your team will walk away fired up with new ideas to take your practice to the next level. But it’s also all the extras you get at the OP Summit that makes the difference. Like all of your meals are provided—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—plus lots of gourmet snacks. You never need to figure out meal plans because we take care of everything!

What’s more… your ticket gets you into two amazing evening receptions with drinks, food, entertainment, networking, and a few surprises people will be talking about for the next year.

You’ll also have the chance to win some incredible prizes over all three days of the event—not to mention you’ll walk away with enough swag to fill a suitcase.
See What People are Saying About OP Summit…
Dr. Paiyal Popat
"The conference I look forward to all year…"
OP Summit is the conference I look forward to all year. I specifically appreciate that the lectures are based on the most current, hot topics in the fast evolving field of orthodontics.
Dr. Matthew Cline
"It was the BEST ortho meeting I’ve ever attended."
It was the BEST ortho meeting I’ve ever attended. Everything exceeded expectations including the speakers, the social events, the food, and the venue. I loved the camaraderie among fellow like-minded orthodontists. You won’t be disappointed!
Dr. Kate Lembck
"Invigorating, energizing, and spiritual…"
The OP Summit is an invigorating, energizing and spiritual meeting for me. I can’t say enough great things about every aspect of the meeting.
Dr. Alyssa Emory-Carter
"The Summit 100% takes it to the next level…"
The Summit is THE meeting to attend to focus on gaining mental clarity on what it takes to be a well-rounded orthodontist. Glenn and Mike have mastered the concept of hosting a meeting where the culture is inviting and encouraging… Not to mention there are other amazing perks, such as morning and evening entertainment, breakfast/snacks/lunch, being treated like royalty, and the astounding speakers. The Summit 100% takes it to the next level.
Dr. Kyle Fagala
"One of the very few must-attend meetings…."
Orthopreneurs is one of the very few, must-attend meetings in Orthodontics. The production value is always at the highest possible level—the speakers, food, events, and entertainment are all top notch. In short, the buzz surrounding the OP Summit is well-earned, and if you and your team attend, you won’t be disappointed.
Dr. Inna Gellerman
"...came back energized and immediately implemented many ideas…"
2019 OrthoPreneurs was a great meeting of the minds in the industry. I got a chance to participate in a dinner discussion of pros and cons of all types of marketing ideas, hear the experts in Invisalign reviewing their clinical cases. We shared mistakes we all made and how to avoid them.
My TC had a wonderful morning immersion session with different practice consultants. She came back energized and immediately implemented many ideas she learned that day. 
And I was happy to see all friends over 🍷and make new friends, and looking forward to the 2020 Austin!
Dr. Akash Pandya
"This meeting is a must attend!"
The OP Summit is a true mind, body and soul experience! Every aspect of the meeting is precisely thought out and executed. From the speakers, to the food, to the morning workouts to the evening entertainment. This meeting is a must attend! It will motivate and inspire you (and your team) to be better.
Dr. Timothy Finelli
"Everything you’ve ever wanted in an Orthodontic conference…"
Every other other meeting I’ve attended over the last 20 years had lectures that were just fillers and not relevant. Not OP Summit. Every other meeting requires attendees to find their own dining and entertainment. Not the Summit. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted in an Orthodontic conference… and more!
Dr. Rooz Khosravi
"...extremely well organized..."
The OP meeting is a great event to catch up with old friends and meet new orthodontists. The meeting has been extremely well organized... we signed up again to learn about the business of orthodontics.
Dr. Michael Ragan
"You’re crazy if you pass up the chance to take part in this event."
The Summit is the meeting of the decade! It is one of the most action packed weekends in terms of education, entertainment, and fellowship with other practitioners and friends. You will not be disappointed in the meeting or location of Austin, TX. You’re crazy if you pass up the chance to take part in this event.
Dr. Michael Hess
"I went home reenergized about my future."
The OrthoPrenuers Summit is the best meeting I have ever been to! Extremely informative and relevant information to our profession. I had a blast! I will definitely be there next year… I went home reenergized about my future.
Dr. Dave Paquette
"...an extraordinary meeting…"
The OP Summit was truly an extraordinary meeting, both as a speaker and as an attendant. The organization, quality of education and robust program was unsurpassed. In my opinion this has become a meeting that quite simply is a must attend each year.
Dr. John Graham
"No annual meeting in orthodontics rivals the spirit, energy, comradery, value, or fun that the Orthopreneurs Summit provides. Not. Even. Close."
Introducing your host for OP Summit:
Dr. Glenn Krieger
Dr. Glenn Krieger is a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and a practicing orthodontist who understands the challenges faced by clinicians on a day to day basis.

He’s helped teach thousands of orthodontists how to lead and grow their practices with confidence with real-world strategies that attract more patients so they can find time for the things they value most.

OP Summit was born out of a desire to bring the orthodontic community together at the most unforgettable meeting and to encourage everyone to collaborate and help each other succeed.

Building a successful practice can be frustrating,
stressful, and slow going.
Too many orthodontists don’t really love their practice… or they feel like others have insider information, but they’re on the outside looking in.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

When you attend OrthoPreneurs Summit 2022, you’ll walk away with dozens of business-changing ideas and insights from successful orthodontists and practice experts—guaranteed to help you become a better leader in your practice.

Space is limited and this event will sell out—get your ticket now!

Don’t Attend OP Summit If…
Maybe you’re wondering if this is the right event for you and your team? 

To be perfectly honest, this event is not for you if...
  • You’re not ready to invest more time in being a better practice leader...
  • ​You’re satisfied with your practice the way it is...
  • ​You have all of your systems dialed in…
  • ​Your practice is bursting at the seams and you can’t take on any new patients…
👆 If this is you, you should speak at next year’s summit!


However, if you...
  • Know your practice could be better… 
  • ​Need more effective systems for finding and serving your patients… 
  • Want to free up more time…
  • Want to grow—really grow—in the coming year...
... then OP Summit is the ONLY place to be this October.
It's Not Just a Meeting...
It's an EXPERIENCE!
World Class Speakers
Our speakers are painstakingly selected to ensure you get the education and support you need to grow your practice like a true entrepreneur. Learn from experts chosen to empower your next-level leap.
Mind Blowing Entertainment and Surprises
We could tell you what we’ve got up our sleeves… but then we’d have to...  you know... 

Seriously though, this might just be the first meeting where you'll regret showing up late to anything.
... And the Food... Mmm mmm mmm...
There are no boxed lunches at this meeting!

We provide ALL of your meals (breakfast lunch, and dinner) as well as snack breaks with an ample spread of healthy and tempting selections. We take great pride in ensuring that this will be a whole of body experience!
