KRAKDENT marks 30 years as central Europe's key dental trade fair
KRAKDENT 2026 runs 16-18 April with 198 hours of educational content and nearly 400 exhibitors showcasing dental innovation.
KRAKDENT, organised by Targi w Krakowie, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026 as one of central and eastern Europe's leading dental exhibitions. The 32nd edition runs from 16 to 18 April at EXPO Kraków, attracting hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of dental professionals from across the region.
Infrastructure and growth
The opening of EXPO Kraków in 2014 transformed the event's capacity. The modern venue provided ample exhibition space, conference facilities, and improved comfort for participants, enabling KRAKDENT to expand its international reach and attract companies and professionals from abroad. The infrastructure supports larger-scale product presentations, training sessions, and business networking.
Education and digitalisation
KRAKDENT has evolved beyond a product showcase into a comprehensive event combining education, networking, and clinical innovation. The 2026 programme includes 198 hours of presentations across seminar and workshop rooms: 73 hours in the KRAKDENT-edu programme and 125 hours of training organised by nearly 60 exhibitors. Nearly 400 exhibitors will present the latest technologies and innovations. The event also hosts the 23rd International Dental Congress DENTAL SPAGHETTI and the KRAKDENT MeetUp stage for direct industry dialogue. Recent changes reflect post-pandemic expectations and the profession's shift towards digitalisation. A 2024 strategy targeting younger dentists has shown strong results, with growing participation from early-career practitioners.
