Chiro Texpo ’26 – The ATX Experience is officially here, and I can’t wait to see you at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center in Austin. It is going to be a memorable weekend packed with top-notch speakers, lively conversations, and plenty of chic Austin vibes. For those of you who are registered, look for communication from us and actually read your emails! AT&T is in the midst of a renovations project, so we want to eliminate any confusion and make your Chiro Texpo experience seamless. If you’re not registered yet, no problem! While online registration has ended, you still can register on-site, and you are welcome to bring along your associates, chiropractic assistant, and staff. Make it a team-building event … there’s truly something for everybody! If you can’t commit to the entire weekend, you can do a Friday or Saturday day pass or attend Sunday’s TBCE Mandatory Hours session only. Your attendance means a lot, so join us at Chiro Texpo ’26 and stay as long as you can. Chiro Texpo ’26 is the product of a small army of staff and volunteers. I want to commend Scientific Affairs Coordinator Dr. Jeff Williams and Dr. Jennifer Gardner and the Education & Events Committee for putting together a well-rounded program of speakers, including big names and some relatively new to the chiropractic space. Obviously, it’s impossible to offer everything in 2 ½ days, and the committee made tough choices. However, we care what you think, so let us know what you want to see at Chiro Texpo ’27, either this weekend or the post-event survey. Perhaps I am biased, but I wanted to highlight a few things you shouldn’t miss: Adjust Lab – I go to A LOT of chiropractic conferences and very few offer an entire weekend of hands-on workshops where you can refine your skills and become an even better chiropractor. Our instructors are incredible, including legends like Dr. Mark Charrette and Motion Palpation Institute’s Dr. Mark King, TCA favorite Dr. Benjamin Fergus, and Hand Alchemy Adjustments’ dynamic duo Drs. David Bynum and Maurice Isuo. Space is limited at these sessions, so arrive on time and bring a portable chiropractic table. Friday Keynote – I have known the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress’ Dr. Sherry McAllister for over a decade, and she and F4CP have done so much to promote our profession to the general public. Dr McAllister’s Friday Keynote will cover some of the material in her best-selling book, Adjusted Reality. Check out her session and get an autographed copy of her book while supplies last. President’s Gala – OK, it’s a black-tie dinner and perhaps you don’t want to dress up, but this really is an elegant, high-energy event. It’s inspiring to see Texas chiropractors and supporters be recognized for what they do for chiropractic in the Lone Star State. This is also the farewell event for outgoing TCA President Dr. Don White, who is “Mr. TCA” in my opinion. Let’s give Don the send-off he deserves while welcoming our dynamic new leadership team. Plus, you have the hilarious Dr. Devin Pettiet as your emcee, so there’s that! We have a few gala tickets available for sale at Registration. Boots & Bubbles Women’s Luncheon – This Saturday event brought to you by the new Texas Women’s Chiropractic Collaborative is a MUST for female DCs and chiropractic students. This luncheon celebrates the incredible women shaping chiropractic in Texas. Come for the camaraderie, fun photo moments, cool swag bag and plenty of Austin Glam energy. Next Gen Track – TCA has dedicated Saturday afternoon to our chiropractic students and new DCs, with quality programming, mentorship and valuable resources to get your chiropractic career off the ground. While you’re at Chiro Texpo, spend lots of time in the Texpo Exhibit Hall visiting with our exhibitors and sponsors. With them, our Texas state convention would not happen. OK, I have done all I can to promote Chiro Texpo ’26. No more time left for emails, calls, texts, etc. Make my job easier and just come to Chiro Texas ’26. It’s going to be epic!
