On Friday 13th March, the BDIA hosted the first‑ever announcement of the BDIA 35 Under 35 at the Big Bash — a new initiative designed to recognise emerging talent and celebrate the individuals who are helping shape the future of the dental industry.
The Big Bash, held in support of Bridge2Aid, welcomed more than 170 attendees. It was encouraging to see such strong backing from BDIA members and member companies, many of whom have supported the development of this programme from the outset. Their involvement helped create a warm, positive atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.
Rather than a formal awards ceremony, the event focused on bringing people together and giving the 35 selected individuals a moment to be recognised among peers, colleagues, and industry leaders. The informal setting allowed for genuine conversations, shared experiences, and a chance for the group to enjoy the spotlight in a relaxed environment.
The introduction of the BDIA 35 Under 35 marks an important step in our commitment to championing the next generation of leaders. This inaugural group reflects the breadth of talent, innovation, and dedication that continues to drive the dental sector forward. We look forward to following their progress and supporting future cohorts in the years ahead.
The launch is just the beginning, and we’re excited to see how this initiative grows and evolves as part of the BDIA’s wider work to support and strengthen our industry. The candidates who joined the inaugural BDIA 35 Under 35 list includes:
