ACAPT is excited to announce the second quarter of our regional virtual town halls in 2026, an opportunity for members to connect, collaborate, and stay informed through focused, region-specific conversations.
Designed to be accessible, interactive, and relevant, these virtual town halls create space for meaningful dialogue between ACAPT leadership and members across the country. Each session is tailored to regional priorities while also addressing national trends, advocacy updates, and emerging issues impacting academic physical therapy.
Participants can expect:
- Strategic updates on ACAPT initiatives and priorities
- Open discussion on regional challenges and opportunities
- Peer connection and shared problem-solving
- A platform to ask questions and provide real-time feedback
Members are encouraged to participate, bring their questions, and contribute to the conversations shaping 2026 and beyond.
