Theme: Diamonds Are Made Under Pressure.

Confronting the tensions and pressures shaping the future of physical therapy. Will we crack - or become a diamond in the rough?

Join us for an engaging conversation with fellow thought leaders in physical therapy as we delve into a range of important topics, including:

• The underlying conflicts and unspoken tensions between generations in our field, and how leveraging each generation's strengths can help us grow collectively.
• Strategies for physical therapists to make meaningful progress toward becoming primary care providers for neuromusculoskeletal health.
• An exploration of the shifting landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion in physical therapy, set against today’s complex geopolitical climate.
•  Insights from a diverse panel of experts, including representatives from high-cost and lower-cost programs, financial specialists, and lenders, on how schools are adapting to the new $100,000 loan cap.
• And More...
  

Stay tuned for the 2026 Agenda!
