When and where is the Denobi Awards celebration?
The Denobi Awards are evolving beyond a single awards night into a year-long celebration of excellence across dentistry.
Winners will be announced in the spring, followed by a full year of recognition through monthly spotlights, storytelling, and opportunities to celebrate their impact across the dental industry.
After our honorees have had their moment in the spotlight throughout the year, the Denobi community will come together for a special red carpet celebration, where we’ll celebrate the year’s winners and announce the Denobi Pinnacle Award.
Details about the celebration, including the date, location, and accommodations, will be announced at a later time.
Stay tuned — there is much more to come as Denobi continues to grow into a year-round platform for recognizing the people shaping the future of dentistry.

What is the selection process?
Nominations are accepted from October 1 through December 31 each year.
Following the nomination period, submissions are reviewed and narrowed to a shortlist. From there, the annual Denobi honorees are selected and announced in the spring.
Each year, Denobi recognizes ten individual honorees and one dental team, with each winner receiving dedicated recognition throughout the year through monthly spotlights, storytelling, and industry-wide celebration.
At the conclusion of the year-long recognition program, the Denobi community will come together for a special red carpet celebration, where the prestigious Dr. Lou Shuman Denobi Pinnacle Achievement Award will be announced.
When is the annual Denobi celebration?
Rather than centering Denobi around a single awards gala, our new format allows us to celebrate our honorees throughout the entire year.
Following the spring announcement of each year’s winners, Denobi will spend the year highlighting their stories, accomplishments, and impact on the profession before bringing the community together for a special red carpet celebration.
The date and location of the next celebration will be announced soon.
Stay tuned as Denobi continues to grow from an awards event into a year-round platform for recognition, connection, and celebration across dentistry.
