Annual Conference

The Annual Conference is typically held in the fall and spans across a three-day weekend.  The NCOTA also hosts a day-long conference annually in the spring.  Conferences consist of several learning opportunities for OT practitioners to become involved as presenters, exhibitors, or attendees.  These opportunities include short educational courses; pre-conference institutes; courses on ethics and diversity, equity, and inclusion; Special Interest Section round-table discussions; poster sessions; vendor/exhibitor fairs; and friendly assistive technology/adaptive equipment competitions.  The NCOTA Continuing Education Co-Chairs review proposed conference content (educational courses, posters, etc.) prior to releasing the conference schedules to ensure that the learning opportunities meet the criteria for a continuing competence activity that was established by the NC Board of Occupational Therapy.  Courses offered are vetted to be evidence-based and either research- or practice-focused.

Attention Students!!!

 We need your help!

 NCOTA is hosting a Logo Design Competition for this year's Fall Conference. 

Please consider submitting a logo design for our upcoming NCOTA Fall Conference! If your design is selected, you will receive NCOTA swag and free NCOTA membership for 1 year!  

The logo should represent this year's theme which is Changing What's Possible - our goal is to highlight and discuss the many ways we can forge new paths in the OT profession and health.  The conference logo will be used on our website, printed documents for the conference, NCOTA swag, and more!

Designs should be submitted to [email protected] by September 15, 2024 and should be in .jpeg or .png form. The lines should be thick and dark enough to show up on merchandise. 

We look forward to receiving your designs -- and seeing you at the Fall Conference on November 1-3, 2024 in Fayetteville, North Carolina at Methodist University!!  Be on the lookout for other exciting announcements surrounding the Fall Conference!
