January 8 – 10, 2027 | Hilton Head, SC

AOPA’s 2027 Invite-Only O&P Leadership Conference will take place January 8 – 10 in Hilton Head, SC at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort!
AOPA is fulfilling member and profession expectations to lead change. One of the ways we do this is by annually convening leaders within the profession at the Leadership Conference.
Since 2015, the Leadership Conference has brought together leaders from across O&P for something increasingly valuable: the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day to have candid conversations with peers and think strategically about the future of our organizations and our profession.
Why Attend?
By joining today’s and tomorrow’s O&P leaders at the 2027 Leadership Conference, you (and other leaders from your business) will have the opportunity to help AOPA lead change by:
- Learning about evolving trends, emerging technologies, and the O&P schools
- Gaining insights and perspectives from subject matter experts and key leaders, and discuss pivotal issues facing the profession
- Expanding your professional network, including young innovators and entrepreneurs
- Engaging in conversations with board members, staff and, volunteers about action plans, investments and partnerships that are driving a multi-year effort to transform lives and strengthen member businesses and the profession
Registration and housing are now open. We look forward to seeing you in January.
Please contact us if you have any questions or did not receive an invitation but would like to attend.
