WE ARE GOING HYBRID!

Please join us in-person on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 and virtually on Wednesday, February 28 & Thursday, February 29, 2024.

ABOUT PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY:

Each year, we bring together over 500 CMCC students, faculty, chiropractors, and industry vendors to an extraordinary networking event. We are excited again this year to bring the conference to an even wider audience as we go hybrid!

Practice OpportUnity is the ideal venue to connect with a valuable demographic of the next generation of chiropractors. Those in attendance include 200 students from the Year IV Class, graduating in June 2024. Students from Years I-III also attend to begin creating bonds and building knowledge of their chosen profession.


WHAT DOES GOING HYBRID MEAN?

We will be offering our in-person event on Wednesday, February 14, 2024. We are excited to announce that we are going back to our original format of Practice OpportUnity. For the first time since 2020, all sponsors, vendors, and chiropractors are welcome to attend! Please note, we will not be offering pipe and drape, and electricity will be on a first come first serve basis.

For those who are not able to attend the in-person event, or want to attend BOTH events, we are hosting our virtual event for three hours on Wednesday, February 28 and Thursday, February 29. We are hosting this event on two days to ensure that all Year IV clinic rotations can attend at least one of the days. We will be using the same virtual platform (vFairs) we have used since 2021. Our virtual booths are easy to build, with step-by-step guidelines along the way. They offer text chat, video chat, post documents, videos, catalogs, job opportunities with easy ‘apply now’ button, search student profiles, and much more!

The best part? For just $50 more than the in-person event fee you can attend BOTH events, giving you the greatest opportunity to meet our students! Note: to our vendors and associations, the fee to attend BOTH events has not gone up from last year!
