The countdown is on – just six weeks away – to one of the biggest weekends for Texas chiropractors – Chiro Texpo ’26. It’s been at least 15 years since the Texas Chiropractic Association’s annual state convention was last in Austin, so we’re excited about this year’s event on June 26-28 at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center. TCA is billing it as The ATX Experience, capitalizing on the unique vibe of Texas’ capital city. Haven’t been to Chiro Texpo in a while, or perhaps ever? Here are just a few reasons why it needs to be on your calendar: 1. Perfect your technique in the Adjust Lab – If you’re a tactile learner, or get bored sitting in a classroom all day, Chiro Texpo is the perfect alternative. You get 2 ½ days of hands-on training with elite instructors, including GRIP Approach’s Dr. Benjamin Fergus, Motion Palpation Institute founder Dr. Mark King, Hand Alchemy’s dynamic duo of Dr. David Bynum and Dr. Maurice Isuo, and the legendary Dr. Mark Charrette. After our adjusting workshops, you will return to the office with new techniques you can try on your patients the following Monday. 2. Get a jump start on your chiropractic career – If you’re a new licensee or a chiropractic student, check out our Next Gen activities at Chiro Texpo. TCA is committed to your success and provides you with tools to build a successful practice and mentors who can answer questions and keep you on track. Check out the Next Gen Track Schedule. 3. Bond with your female DCs – Our Texas Women’s Chiropractic Collaborative knows how to throw a party, so don’t miss our TWCC "Boots and Bubbles" Women’s Luncheon! Walk the pink carpet and enjoy food, drinks and connection with your fellow female DCs and chiropractic students. Come for the lively conversation and leave with a cool swag bag! RSVP today! 4. It’s all about networking – Everywhere you go, there’s an opportunity to reconnect with a colleague or make a new friend to add your inner circle. Or, you can meet a company that can take your practice to the next level in the Texpo Exhibit Hall. If your motivation is to complete your CE requirements in one weekend, we have you covered, and that includes TBCE, Medicare and acupuncture hours. The main-stage talent is impressive with the likes of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress’ own Dr. Sherry McAllister, neurology expert Dr. Monika Buerger, and Carrick Institute’s Dr. Matthew Antonucci, but there are plenty of tough choices. Check out the schedule and speakers and sessions and start planning your Chiro Texpo itinerary now. OK, now is the time to make a decision. May 31 is the early registration deadline, and don’t forget to grab your tickets to our “Austin Underground”-themed President’s Gala and book your hotel room at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center before the room block fills up. As your TCA Executive Director, Chiro Texpo ’26 is my passion project, and I am so proud of the incredible program that has been assembled by our Education & Events Committee and leadership team. The only thing missing is … YOU! Chiro Texpo ’26 is THE place where the Texas chiropractic community pulls together and we hope to see you in Austin this summer. With appreciation!
