The Buy, Scale & Grow Conference is a full-day event designed exclusively for dentists and dental professionals who are serious about taking their practice to the next level. Whether you're evaluating your first acquisition, refining your operations, or chasing your next revenue milestone — this is the room to be in.
Hosted by the team at Lifestream University, this conference delivers no-fluff, actionable content across three core tracks. Every speaker and session is grounded in actual dental business experience — not theory, not conjecture. Just proven systems, real timelines, and the kind of candid insight you can only get from people who've built and scaled practices themselves.

Featured Speaker
Tom Smyth
From the turmoil of growing up during The Troubles in Northern Ireland to building a string of internationally thriving businesses, Tom Smyth has discovered — and shares — the secrets to winning in life.
A Belfast-born entrepreneur, Tom owns several construction and property companies, all built on a philosophy of taking massive action. Having overcome childhood adversity, alcoholism, and PTSD, resilience and determination have become core to who he is.
Inspired by Dubai's thriving serviced-apartment industry, Tom spent a year walking the streets of Belfast and travelling the UK, meeting letting agents face-to-face in search of his first opportunity. After countless rejections, he secured his first "yes" — and went on to build a business managing more than 550 serviced apartments across the UK.
His greatest lesson: success belongs to those who keep going when others give up. Today, his passion is mentoring — helping as many people as he can build the resilience and persistence to open doors that once seemed impossible.
