The CDF weekend conference is very much a Family event. It is regularly attended by over 100 people of all ages, including families, students, retired folk and dentists from all branches of dentistry and associated members of the profession.


There are plenty of opportunities to make new friends, to renew acquaintances or to find encouragement to cope with the challenges of dentistry.
The programme provides a mixture of good Bible teaching, clinical input, news of our Overseas Partners and time for fellowship and fun in beautiful surroundings. There is a separate programme for children. Conference fees are heavily discounted for students.
