6th Annual Lucy Hobbs Project
Join us for a day of learning, shopping, networking and giving back. Welcome to this year’s Lucy Hobbs Project—where the future of dentistry meets a whole lot of girl power!
The dental world has been changing faster than a patient saying “I promise I floss.” Over the last decade, new tech, new trends, and new expectations have reshaped our profession in big ways.
Today, we’re diving into what’s coming next—and how to not just keep up, but stay ahead. Get ready for fresh ideas, real talk, and exciting insights to help you lead confidently, adapt boldly, and shape the future of dentistry with style.
Let’s have fun, learn something new, and celebrate the powerhouse women moving dentistry forward!

Keynote: Employee Engagement
News Flash! Employees take a lot of time, are expensive and can be stressful! Employee engagement has been shown, time and time again, to be a positive factor in long-term retention, thus reducing the need to recruit and hire. The question is: Is working in your practice rewarding, fun, and fulfilling, in other words, “engaging” for everyone, including you? How much conscious effort goes into employee engagement that supports those things?
Objectives:
- Identify 10 ingredients for a successful dental team.
- Address tough conversations.
- Determine traits of a great leader by strengthening the relationship with recognition and engagement.
Panel Discussion: “Hot Topics in Dentistry: What Everyone’s Talking About”
