The Australian Dental Industry Association (ADIA) recently marked its 100th anniversary with a sold-out black-tie gala at The Eveleigh in Sydney, bringing together more than 230 guests from across the dental sector to celebrate a century of innovation, resilience and community.
The evening was made possible by the generous support of Whiteley and Henry Schein One, and featured a rich mix of entertainment, reflection and recognition of the people who’ve shaped the industry over the past century.
Guests were welcomed by a powerful performance from the KARI Singers, and the event itself was hosted by comedian and RocKwiz favourite Brian Nankervis. His special edition of RocKwiz: The Magic Edition was a stand-out moment, with Kathryn Lewis from Centaur Software taking home the top prize, a $7000 luxury Club Med holiday.
One of the most talked-about highlights of the night came courtesy of Seija Keeble from Professional Dentist Supplies, who surprised the room with a stunning operatic performance.
Adding to the magic of the night were roaming black-tie magicians, who delivered mind-bending illusions between courses.
“Seeing the industry come together, from emerging professionals to life members and former presidents, made this a truly special occasion,” ADIA national president Ryan Green said.
“It was especially meaningful to acknowledge members who have contributed 50 and even 60 years of service to the dental industry. Their commitment is what built the foundation we stand on today.”
