45th ABCA National Convention

June 25, 2026 9:00 AM - June 28, 2026 12:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Annually convened with unwavering commitment, the ABCA National Convention stands as the paramount chiropractic conference, steadfastly devoted to championing the representation and empowerment of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and minority students, practitioners, speakers, and businesses within the chiropractic community. This exceptional gathering serves as a pivotal platform for fostering inclusivity, celebrating diversity, and promoting excellence in the field of chiropractic care.

In addition to its role as a gathering place for like-minded individuals dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion in chiropractic care, the ABCA National Convention is a dynamic hub for knowledge exchange and professional development. Renowned speakers, industry experts, and thought leaders converge to share their expertise, insights, and innovative approaches, fostering an environment of continuous learning and growth.

Furthermore, the convention serves as a showcase for businesses and enterprises that prioritize diversity and inclusivity. By providing a platform for BIPOC-owned and minority-led businesses, the ABCA National Convention contributes to the economic empowerment of underrepresented communities within the chiropractic profession.

The ABCA National Convention is more than just a conference; it is a transformative experience that amplifies voices, nurtures talent, and propels the chiropractic community toward a future of equity and excellence. Secure your place at the forefront of this groundbreaking event by booking your room at the Hilton Charlotte University Place and be part of a movement that is shaping the future of chiropractic care.
