The theme of this year's conference, "Cultivate" will focus on promoting growth, development, and nurturing of skills and abilities. The conference will feature workshops and presentations that explore innovative approaches to occupational therapy, foster collaboration, and inspire attendees to cultivate their own personal and professional growth.

If you enjoyed last year's conference, you will not want to miss out this year! 

Our conference will be held again this year at the beautiful PACE (Parker Arts and Cultural Center) Center in Parker, Colorado. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor spaces as well as a comfortable learning environment. We will also be taking advantage of PACE’s creative studios for some fun and interactive activities.
