A sharper leader
- A personal communication framework

- A professional identity you can own
What you'll walk away with
Three things you take home.
A network for life
- Ambitious peers, all aspiring leaders
- Colleagues at your career stage
- Shared challenges, shared growth
- Colleagues you'll be calling for decades
Real direction
- Space away from the clinic and the noise
- Room to ask the questions you never get to
- Clarity, not just notes
Who it's for
Built for the dentist who wants more than a busier chair.
If you're great clinically but ready to lead — a team, a room, a reputation — you're exactly who we built this for.
The practice builder
You own a practice, or you're about to. The clinical part you've got. Leading the team, setting the culture, making the calls — that's the next mountain.
The rising voice
You want to teach, present, and be known for more than your hands. You're ready to step on stage and own it.
The one feeling the stretch
You're delivering at a high level and paying for it in energy. You want direction and balance before burnout makes the choice for you.
Most attendees are clinicians in implant dentistry, roughly 30–45, early-to-mid career — ambitious about where their career goes beyond the chair.
Looking for clinical CE or hands-on implant technique? This isn't that — and that's the point.
The program
A four-day arc, not a timetable.
Small groups rotate through immersive Growth Stations — real conversations and shared experiences, not slides and lectures.
-
Thu, Oct 1
Meet & belong
Leave the clinic behind. Meet your group, share a lakeside BBQ, and start the conversations. By night one, the room feels like yours.
-
Fri, Oct 2
Find your voice
Move through three Growth Stations, then join ITI leadership for lunch. In the afternoon, choose your pace: paddleboard, ride, e-bike, or hike. End the day with dinner together.
-
Sat, Oct 3
Build what lasts
Three more Growth Stations focused on reputation, balance, and team. The afternoon winds down with a wine tasting and a shared evening together.
-
Sun, Oct 4
Reflection to action
Breakfast and closing reflection. You write your Letter to Future Self, delivered back to you in two years. You leave with momentum and direction.
The Growth Stations
Eight sessions. Each one ends with something you can use.
Not lectures, but small-group conversations — by the lake, on a walk, and in the sunset lounge. Each is built around a real-world challenge you face in practice, and each leaves you with a tool you can take with you.

The setting
A place that gives you room to think.
Reserva Alecrim isn't a conference hotel — it's part of the experience. Set in the rolling hills of Alentejo, this eco-conscious glamping retreat replaces meeting rooms with geodesic domes, infinity pools, and quiet lakes. Here, the landscape slows everything down. The stillness makes space for honest conversations — with others and with yourself — that lead to real change.
Where you stay
Three nights, woven into the landscape.
Beautifully designed glamping units — suspended domes, lakeside cabins, and eco-suites, each fully equipped and built into the setting. Come solo for the quiet, or share with a colleague for the lower per-person rate.
Nine room types to choose from — tiny houses, domes, and bungalows. Swipe each card for more photos.
Casa do Lago
Tiny houses set around two biological lakes and a private beach — queen room plus a bunk room, deck, and kitchenette. Set in the Casas do Lago area, the kitchenette has a ceramic hob, coffee machine, microwave, and fridge — a tranquil setting ideal for couples or colleagues sharing.
- 1 queen bed
- 1 bunk bed
- 1 bathroom
Casa Duplex do Lago
A two-level duplex pairing a cozy tiny house below with a dome above — two queen beds and serene water views. Tucked into the tranquil Casas do Lago area, with a full kitchenette — designed for couples or colleagues who want a little more space over two levels.
- 2 queen beds
- 1 bathroom
Dome Couple
An intimate dome for two, with sweeping views over the cork-oak forest. Queen bed, private bath, kitchenette. An open-plan dome looking out across the Alentejo cork-oak forest toward the sea — kitchenette with ceramic hob, coffee machine, microwave, and fridge.

- 1 bathroom

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Who is this for?
Clinicians in implant dentistry, roughly 30–45, early-to-mid career, who want to grow as leaders — not just as operators. See Who it's for above for the full picture.
Do I need to be an ITI member to attend?
No — everyone is welcome. ITI members pay a lower rate, so if you're planning to join, becoming a member first can more than pay for itself.
What's included in the price?
Everything that matters: three nights' glamping accommodation, all meals and drinks, every growth station and activity, and round-trip transfers from Lisbon Airport. Prices exclude 23% VAT.
Can I come with a friend or colleague?
Yes — and you'll both save. Share accommodation and each of you pays the lower per-person rate. Coming as a group of friends works the same way: everyone books the per-person sharing rate.
How do I get there?
Fly into Lisbon Airport. Round-trip shuttle transfers between the airport and Reserva Alecrim are included in your ticket, so you don't need to arrange ground travel.
Is this clinical CE?
No — and that's the point. This is deliberately "beyond implantology": communication, leadership, resilience, and the human skills clinical training rarely covers.
What's the accommodation like?
Designed eco-glamping at Reserva Alecrim — suspended domes, lakeside cabins, and eco-suites for one to two guests, each fully equipped. For questions about room types and sharing, email Sven Pfeiffer or call / WhatsApp +41 (0)79 616 73 29.
Not ready to commit?
Take the full program with you.
Drop your email and we'll send the complete four-day program — every growth station, speaker, evening, and what you'll walk away with — so you can decide in your own time. No pressure.
Your next 30 years could start in one weekend.
You'll go home with sharper skills, a clearer sense of direction, and a network of peers who understand your world — shaped in a place designed for thinking. The only thing missing is you.
October 1–4, 2026 · Reserva Alecrim, Portugal
Beyond the sessions
The best conversations happen off the agenda.
Between the Growth Stations the days open up — long evenings by the water, an afternoon outdoors, a table full of wine and new colleagues. Often the parts you'll still be talking about a year later.
BBQ at the Lake
Drop clinical mode the moment you arrive. Fire, food, and the lake at dusk — by the end of night one, the room is already yours.
Outdoor Escapes
Pick what suits you — movement and adventure, or calm exploration. Recharge in the landscape and grow through the shared experience.
Wine & a Long Table
A relaxed afternoon that flows into a local wine tasting, a shared dinner, and an open evening — gather, unwind, and connect at your own pace.
