Progressive Dental is thrilled to announce that iconic artist, entrepreneur, and three-time Grammy® Award winner Nelly will be the featured headliner for The Closing Institute’s official afterparty at the 2026 Annual Growth Conference.
Taking place November 13 and 14, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, this year’s conference is built around high-impact growth, cutting-edge technology, and world-class dental leadership. When two days of intensive strategy sessions wrap up, the celebration gets turned all the way up.
Legendary Energy for an Unforgettable Night
Nelly is one of the most successful crossover artists in music history, defining an era with chart-topping anthems, global hits, and a stage presence that’s hard to match. From his diamond-certified debut Country Grammar to multi-platinum tracks like “Hot in Herre,” “Dilemma,” “Ride Wit Me,” and “Just a Dream,” Nelly has sold more than 21 million albums in the U.S. alone.
Beyond music, Nelly is a seasoned entrepreneur, clothing designer, and philanthropist, someone who’s built a career on the same drive, adaptation, and vision it takes to perform at the highest level in any industry.
Whether attendees are singing along to classic 2000s anthems or celebrating two game-changing days with their team, this private, exclusive afterparty is built to deliver entertainment on a level nothing else at the conference will match.
What You’ll Experience Across Two Days in Orlando
While the afterparty brings the celebration, the Annual Growth Conference itself delivers the actionable systems practices need to grow. Over two days in Orlando, the conference will cover:
Harnessing AI and automation to streamline complex workflows, strengthen patient engagement, and boost case acceptance with next-generation dental AI tools. Building smarter practice infrastructure designed for scalable growth through integrated technology and data-driven decisions. Positioning a practice to consistently attract high-value cases, from veneers and smile makeovers to full-mouth rehabilitations. Mastering trust-based conversion, turning everyday patient interactions into relationships built on trust, clarity, and treatment acceptance. Equipping an entire team with sharper communication strategies, modern leadership frameworks, and operational systems that actually stay aligned. Future-proofing a practice against market shifts and competitive pressure with strategies built to hold up over time.
