The Greater New York Dental Meeting has announced a significant schedule adjustment for its 2026 show, trimming one day from its exhibit hall operations at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

For 2026, the exhibit hall will run from November 29th through December 1st, eliminating the traditional Wednesday exhibit day that attendees and exhibitors have come to expect. This represents a change from the 2025 format, where the exhibit hall operates Sunday through Wednesday.

The decision to close the exhibit hall on Tuesday instead of Wednesday means vendors and dental professionals will have three days of exhibit access rather than the typical four. The overall meeting will still run from November 27th through December 1st, but exhibit activity will be consolidated into the weekend and early-week period.

For exhibitors and attendees planning their 2026 schedules, this change could affect travel arrangements, booth staffing decisions, and educational session planning. The GNYDM remains one of the dental industry's largest annual gatherings, featuring continuing education courses, hands-on workshops, and hundreds of exhibit booths showcasing the latest dental technologies and products.

Dental professionals interested in attending can monitor the official GNYDM website for registration details, which typically open several months before the event. The meeting continues to offer free pre-registration for attendees who sign up in advance.
