AASPT Hosts Successful Annual Meeting
The American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy (AASPT) held its 2024 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, June 13-14. The event was a major success with over 325 attendees: the most in nearly a decade. The conference featured an amazing and diverse group of attendees learning, networking, and socializing.
The faculty did a fantastic job with their presentations, case study panels, and breakout sessions, and the new Emerging Research session was successful, with many great posters and platform presentations.
