Join colleagues and peers at our highly-anticipated spring convention — the perfect place to learn, network, and earn your valuable CE hours (all of them!). Our schedule includes topics that are required CE for DCs and other important practice management presentations. The chiropractic community comes together for three days of important programming and top-notch education. We’ll also visit with our vendor partners about the most up-to-date products and services available to chiropractic physicians and their practices.

We hope to see you there!

Invitation from the OCA Convention/CE Chair

Hello, OCA Members and Colleagues!

I hope you’re ready for our 2025 Annual Convention. I am so excited for our program this year! I think you will find the schedule this year to include old favorites and new faces. We always try to improve upon the previous year and build upon what worked well.

Casino Night has been a hit for the past couple years, so this year we are adding more tables to allow for even more chances to win. We also have the addition of the “Lunch and Learn” sessions. Every year many of you approach us in wanting to include practice management into our program. For 2025, we brought back a hosted lunch and added in these not-for-credit practice management sessions to enjoy while eating a delicious meal with peers and friends. I am really looking forward to them. See you in April!

Your 2025 OCA President and Convention/CE Chair,
Amanda Tipton Stiller, DC

Exhibit / Sponsorships Available at the OCA Convention

Connect with vendors and industry partners -- encourage them to exhibit at our convention! Being an exhibitor at the show provides them with invaluable quality networking time with these chiropractor physicians and CAs.

Sponsoring an important part (breaks, breakfasts, swag items, etc. - several opportunities) would not only show great value to our members but bring a heightened awareness of your company to this chiropractic audience. There are limited exhibit and sponsorship opportunities - lock this in before it's too late!

We thank our convention supporters for their generous financial support, as well as the individual efforts and time participating in the event itself. We appreciate it when our vendor partners help promote this professional conference to their chiropractic contacts and clients -- showing value to anyone who could benefit/earn CE by attending this great event.
