About Smiles At Sea
Smiles At Sea brings together dental professionals through transformative experiences that combine education, community, and adventure.
Who We Are
Smiles at Sea was created with a simple belief: continuing education should be more than sitting in a conference room.
We believe learning is most impactful when it is combined with meaningful connections, unforgettable experiences, and a community that inspires growth both personally and professionally.
What started as a vision to bring dental education to the open seas has evolved into a movement focused on creating experiences that transform careers, build relationships, and leave lasting memories
Our Mission
To create exceptional education and experiential opportunities that inspire growth, foster community, and empower dental professionals to achieve success both personally and professionally.
Because we believe education should be inspiring, engaging, and memorable.
One Community
Smiles at Sea combines continuing education, networking, travel, and community aboard some of the world’s most incredible cruise ships. Learn from industry leaders while creating relationships & memories.
United by Community
The Dental Festival brings together education, entertainment, leadership, and collaboration in unique destination-based experiences designed to help dental professionals connect and grow.
Meet the Visionaries
Captain
Dr. Devinn Geeson is a dentist, entrepreneur, speaker, and coach who built and sold three dental practices in less than five years for 8.5 times their value. Today, she helps dental professionals recognize the importance of measuring the KPIs of life alongside the KPIs of business to create truly profitable and fulfilling practices.
Known for her message to “Live Your Today” and “Stop Rescheduling Joy,” Dr. Geeson inspires audiences around the world to build lives and careers they love while creating meaningful impact in their communities.
Founder
Elijah Desmond founded Smiles at Sea with a vision to transform the way dental professionals experience education, networking, and community. His innovative approach combined continuing education, travel, entertainment, and personal growth to create experiences unlike anything else in dentistry.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Elijah began his career as a motivational speaker at just 15 years old. Since then, he has launched multiple successful businesses, authored Serial Entrepreneur: From Startup to Success, and dedicated his career to helping others realize their full potential.
His passion is empowering people to recognize the incredible possibilities within themselves and create lives filled with purpose, growth, and impact. When he is not building businesses or creating experiences, you will likely find him enjoying another cruise adventure with his family.
