Next year ( 2026 ), AEEDC Dubai will celebrate its 30th anniversary, a milestone that reflects its unmatched legacy and leadership in the global dental industry. At the same time, I will proudly mark 20 years as a dedicated AEEDC trade visitor, a journey that has profoundly shaped my career, global connections, and personal life.

For me, visiting AEEDC Dubai has become more than a professional obligation—it’s a family tradition. Each year, I look forward to meeting my global dental family, reconnecting with friends, and celebrating the advancements in dentistry, dental technology, and education. The days are filled with cutting-edge innovations, business collaborations, and knowledge-sharing, while the evenings offer time to strengthen lifelong friendships over meaningful conversations.

A special mention goes to my dear friend Dr. Matios Tcholakian, a Hilden asset who has been instrumental in bringing a strong exhibitor presence to AEEDC Dubai. Matios and I share a passion for dentistry and industry development, and over the years, we have met across the world at leading dental trade shows, discussing how to elevate the global dental sector with innovation, education, and strategic growth.

My journey with AEEDC Dubai is deeply personal—it was during AEEDC 2009 that I met my wonderful wife, a moment that changed my life forever. Beyond shaping my career in dental implants and education, AEEDC has given me the opportunity to travel internationally, forge impactful partnerships, and contribute to the dental industry on a global scale.

Now, as a proud media partner of AEEDC Dubai, I am honored to represent and promote an event that has consistently raised the standards of the dental industry. AEEDC Dubai is a true example that consistency, innovation, and continuous improvement are the only ways to achieve lasting success and global recognition.

A heartfelt thank you to AEEDC Dubai, INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions, and Dr. Abdul Salam Al Madani for creating a platform that has transformed careers, businesses, and lives. I eagerly look forward to AEEDC’s 30th anniversary in 2026, where we will once again unite as a global dental family to celebrate the future of dentistry.
