Ohio O & P Spring Meeting

Dear List Members,



Once again, The Ohio Chapter of the Academy will host the annual Spring
Meeting In Columbus, Ohio. We will be back at Easton
<URL Redacted> on Saturday, May 7th. At this year's meeting,
we expect to draw approximately 275 attendees from across the USA, and we
boast a large exhibit hall that is representative of the leading
manufacturers and distributors. Historically, this event has been THE
premier event to obtain CEU's, see new products in the exhibit hall, and
discuss trends with your O&P friends.



The morning program highlights a keynote address from Paul Prusakowski, CPO.

As the President Elect of the Academy, Paul will deliver a thought-provoking
address on the future of O&P. This will be followed by a relevant panel on
CAD technology covering prosthetics, orthotics, and pedorthics. The
afternoon breaks out to 4 rooms: prosthetic, orthotic, pedorthic, and
technician. Note the international lecture on the latest techniques for new
glues in the technical room!



Registration forms will be mailed out in about 1 week. If you have any
questions, or you are interested in obtaining a table in the exhibit hall,
please contact Rich Butchko <Email Address Redacted> or (614) 659-0197.



Regards,



Jon Naft, CPO, President, Ohio Chapter
