Sessions 2: Fall summit 2026: Open House Proposal Development Session
The doors are open! Join us for help sessions on January 20, 2026. This session will be free of charge, but we ask that participants sign up in advance so we can plan accordingly. In these one-hour sessions, you will have the opportunity to:

• Review your conference proposal idea in a group format.
• Use a rubric to assess your proposal.
• Identify strategies to strengthen weak points in your proposal.
• Learn how to effectively organize your content and use visual aids to enhance your message.

If you have an idea for a presentation at the APTA Virginia Fall Summit but need assistance refining it or navigating the proposal process, these sessions are perfect for you. By the end of these workshops, attendees will be well-prepared to share their expertise with a wider audience and contribute to the advancement of physical therapy practice.

We are seeking presentations on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

• Specific Populations: Orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics
  • Hot Topics: Latest evidence updates, applying basic science/neuroscience to drive intervention and cutting-edge practices
  • Cardiovascular Dosing: Updates on exercise testing
