Right from the start on Monday, the Home Event kicked off in an open and welcoming atmosphere. At the get-together with the management and a lunch in the Food Circle, around 150 international business partners and the imes-icore Group team began engaging with one another early on. Direct dialogue between management, partners, and users was deliberately a central component of the event concept. Following this, Expert Talks on innovative topics and technologies provided valuable insights for the further development of digital dental manufacturing. Speakers like Norbert Wichnalek and Arbnor Saraci from the HIGHFIELD.DESIGN Germany laboratory shared practical insights that offered additional perspectives from the field.
The evening of the first day of the event was all about team spirit and entertainment: During the Home Event Quinz, culinary highlights, and other activities created a great atmosphere and fostered personal exchange across national borders.
Tuesday consistently continued the focus on content. In further expert talks, partners, users, and employees of the imes-icore Group presented the latest developments, best practices, and future topics. The subsidiaries pritidenta and i-ProDens also contributed their expertise to the program, impressively demonstrating the diversity within the group. This clearly demonstrated not only the technological breadth but also the strategic evolution of the imes-icore Group toward becoming an integrated solutions provider.
A special focus was placed on the hands-on workshops, where dealers and customers could experience modern technologies and processes firsthand. Topics such as the hybrid workflow with the CORiTEC AM100 and 650i PRO or jewelry applications in the dental sector impressively demonstrated how versatile and future-oriented the Group’s solutions are.
Another extraordinary highlight was the barbecue workshop, led by an imes-icore employee with experience from world barbecue championships. This unique format combined craftsmanship, passion, and shared experience in a way that was as authentic as it was entertaining.
The evening was followed by the gala — another highlight of the Home Event. As the keynote speaker, Toni Schumacher shared personal insights into his career and life experiences, providing an inspiring touch. A festive dinner, live music from the band BIK Fellas, and a speed artist who captured the evening’s atmosphere in striking images rounded out the event in a stylish and emotional way. Another source of great excitement was that Toni Schumacher mingled with the guests throughout the evening and, in a relaxed atmosphere, played a round of foosball with them.
Another special highlight of the evening was the auction of an exclusive CORiTEC 350i Loader PRO+ in a unique World Championship design. The machine, signed by Toni Schumacher, as well as an autographed jersey, generated great excitement among the guests and a high level of interest during the auction. A portion of the purchase price will be donated to charity and equally support the Kinder- und Jugendhospiz „Kleine Helden“ Osthessen e.V. and Sparklekids Zimbabwe.
On Wednesday, the Home Event concluded with a get-together and a closing lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. This provided another opportunity for personal interaction with the international guests, partners, and the imes-icore Group team.
Afterward, the journey continued for some participants to the i-ProDens and pritidenta company locations in Hanau and Plaidt. These visits specifically underscored the group’s integrated approach and enabled international partners to gain an even deeper understanding of how technologies, materials, and services are interwoven throughout the entire value chain.
Following the official program, an employee event took place on Wednesday afternoon. Together with their families, the employees wrapped up the successful event days in a relaxed atmosphere.
“In addition to the personal exchange, it was particularly important to us to transparently present our current areas of innovation and future developments to our partners and discuss them together,” says CEO Sabine Bois. “The large international turnout and the intensive interaction with our dealers and customers made the event a real highlight.”
With its mix of technology, practical application, networking, and experience, the imes-icore Home Event 2026 offered far more than a traditional dealer meeting. It served as a platform for international knowledge transfer, strategic dialogue, and a shared experience of the innovative strength within the imes-icore Group. At the heart of it all was a clear message: The future of digital dental manufacturing lies in continuous innovation, integrated solutions, close collaboration, and a strong international partner network.
