Centennial Session Series 

The Convention Program Committee has selected a series of sessions that reflect our future-focused theme this year. Centennial sessions may focus on:

  • A mindset that transcends traditional thinking and foresees opportunities and challenges to shape industries and lead transformative initiatives.
  • The potential to make an impact or improve outcomes based on strong evidence at the patient, system, or discipline level.
  • Transformative research or clinical work that has dramatically enhanced practice or future research by contributing to new best practices, introducing new evidence, or reframing the thought processes of the professions.

Find the Centennial sessions in the ASHA Convention mobile app and Program Planner by using search filters.
