Here's what attendees said about our previous conferences...

To be honest there wasn't very much I attended that I didn't really get something out of…it was all very informational and valuable.  I loved the meeting and I think there are many highlights, including all the splinting and casting tips. 

Tere Beckman, OTC
El Cajon, CA

I have been a certified athletic trainer for 10 years and never received the personal attention from other members at any of the NATA symposiums like I did at NAOT. I was very impressed with most of the speakers and definitely learned some useful casting/splinting tricks from experienced folks who've been doing this for a long time.

Danielle Franzi-McClure, ATC, OTC
West Sacramento, CA

An outstanding conference that was very informative. I previously attended at ASOP conference and was greatly disappointed in the fact that it was geared towards vendors and not the Orthopaedic Technicians.  I will be attending the NAOT conference in the future.
