Dent is an amazing experience designed to bring you together with people who are like you, but who you would never ordinarily meet. It’s an incredible opportunity to find support through a time of transition or to power through a challenge that needs new perspectives or lateral thinking.

Think Better
Bill Gates has his famous “think week” for a reason. Setting aside time to recharge your energy and open your mind to new perspectives is mission-critical but easy to make a low priority. Every year the sessions at Dent explore the realm of the recently possible and look at the world from an unusual angle, and the participants will push you to develop your own thinking as well.
Make a Great Transition
When you step into a new role or lean into a new challenge, it’s easy to find yourself underwater. The sessions at Dent will give you practical grounding to develop your skills as a leader, and the people with you in Santa Fe will have the perspective and experience to help you grow.

What is the experience like?
La Fonda on the Plaza
Santa Fe, NM
Dent 2020 will take place at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, NM. It’s a beautiful resort nested in the center of the center of town next to the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
We have negotiated a special room rate for Denters of $179/night.
Although your time at Dent will include a full schedule of sessions, conversations, dinners, and unforgettable activities, we encourage you to take an extra day either before or after the conference to explore the amazing surroundings, for which La Fonda is a perfect home base.
