This years’ change of venue offers us at least 6 benefits;
1) a much lower convention cost,
2) all activities are under one roof,
3) Longer clinic room availability (we have clinic room availability from morning to night),

4) the opportunity for more fellowship,
5) you asked for more hands-on clinics and we are delivering more!,

6) Op sessions on-site!

If you’ve never been to an op session or are a seasoned pro we will have time to train the newbies and let our pros have at it. If you are new to op sessions and have been curious to what its all about then this is the place for you!
