THE PEDIATRIC THERAPY EVENT OF THE YEAR.

It’s our EIGHTH Peds-A-Palooza, and this year’s theme is MOMENTUM.

Because when pediatric practice owners get in the same room, big things happen.

Fresh ideas. Real strategy. Honest conversations. The kind of clarity and motivation that’s hard to find when you’re buried in the day-to-day of running a clinic.

This isn’t just a conference where you sit, take notes, and forget everything by Monday. You’ll walk away with practical tools you can actually use, connections that last long after the weekend ends, and a renewed vision for where you want to take your practice next.

This year, we’re bringing all of it to Las Vegas for our biggest Palooza yet.

Expect powerhouse speakers, meaningful connections, big laughs, breakthrough moments, and a room full of people who truly understand the weight — and the privilege — of leading a pediatric practice.

If you’ve been before, you already know the magic.
 If this is your first one? Vegas is one heck of a year to start.

“STEAL & SHARE” NETWORKING 

“Steal and Share” is a collaborative exercise where participants build on the knowledge gained from a presentation. 

Attendees go around the room, sharing key takeaways with each other. They ‘steal’ an insight or idea they find valuable and then ‘share’ their insight or successful actions, creating an exchange of ideas that enhances everyone’s learning experience. It’s a great way to foster connection and ensure that the information sticks long after the session ends.

PURPOSE, PROFITS & GLOBAL IMPACT: The Hidden Architecture of A Practice That Matters 

Most PT, OT, and SLP practice owners are building businesses. A rare few are building legacies. The difference isn’t talent, location, or luck — it’s architecture. In this keynote, Will Humphreys walks you through the Hierarchy of Success, the same framework he used to build and exit a multi-location practice and now uses to help hundreds of practice owners reclaim their time, multiply their profits, and extend their impact across the globe. You’ll leave with a clearer vision of what your practice could become — and the conviction to stop playing small.
