2015 ASHA Convention: Changing Minds. Changing Lives. Leading the Way

Description

The 2015 ASHA Convention will be held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, November 12–14, 2015.

The ASHA Convention is the premier annual event for speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and speech, language, and hearing scientists. Bringing together more than 12,000 attendees, the Annual Convention provides you with a once-a-year opportunity to learn about the latest research, polish clinical skills, improve techniques, and gain new tools and resources to advance professional development.

For 2015, the notion of “change” is being embraced in all of its many forms with the thought-provoking theme, “Changing Minds. Changing Lives. Leading the Way.” The theme touches on the various ways that change relates to the professional life of those in the field of communication sciences and disorders. The professions are continuously evolving, from research, to instruction, to services provided—speech and hearing professionals lead the way. Read more about the 2015 theme and how it will be explored in the message from the Convention Co-Chairs.

Join your colleagues for the comprehensive programming, cutting-edge education, and energized atmosphere of the ASHA Convention!
