This year's ASHT Annual Meeting holds special meaning and historic significance as it marks the 40th gathering of the American Society of Hand Therapists. Evelyn Mackin, PT, wrote in remembrance of the first Annual Meeting, “The history of the American Society of Hand Therapists began with a blank canvas gradually to emerge as an ongoing masterpiece.” Herein lies our inspiration and motivation to continue that contribution toward the masterpiece. Our theme reflects these sentiments and intentions in honor of our 40th Anniversary to be celebrated in Anaheim, CA: Inspired by Our Past to Imagine Tomorrow.
Our meeting will be held October 12-15, 2017 at the Anaheim Marriott within close proximity to Disneyland and many southern California attractions. Learn more about the area and local attractions on the Anaheim page of our meeting site.
The 2017 final program is now available online. Pre-registration for the meeting has closed, but registration will be available on site. We encourage you to download the registration form, print and complete prior to visiting us at the Registration desk.
