Who is CareConnect for?

The CareConnect Conference is designed for Occupational Therapists, Case Managers, and Expert Witnesses who are in, or looking to expand into independent practice. If you fall outside of that bracket but would like to see if this event could still benefit you, visit the booking page for more details.

Where is the event taking place?

CareConnect is taking place in the Grand Station

Will there be virtual access or recordings?

There will be no virtual access to the conference live, but there will be recordings after the event. If you attended the event then these will be included and sent to you once rendered. If you didn't attend the event, recordings will be available as a paid item.

How is this different from the OT Show or other conferences?

Absolutely. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, Think Forward is a space for learning, sharing, and collaborating. Many sessions are designed to support early-stage business challenges with practical guidance.
