Over the past 15 months, we have all made our way through the uncertainty caused by COVID while doing our best to provide excellent service, in spite of the daily challenges and changes in our society. Some report ongoing struggles with their practices, while others report having a record year.
What makes the difference? The National by FCA, the world's largest chiropractic convention and expo, is here to explore that question, share keys to success and provide the connections you need to create the practice of your dreams, in spite of the complicated changes we all face today.
The National now features not only 20 hours of great session options in Orlando, Fla., but also a complete virtual option; and even a live-plus-on-demand combination for those who need to miss a few of the live class hours to practice, travel or visit area attractions. On Aug. 26-29, it will offer what The National is known for: the most variety, highest-quality education, latest industry research, networking opportunities and a 318-booth expo featuring the newest products and services, making it easy for attendees to find all they need in one safe + clean place.
