What’s the Word for AAA 2026? #Amplify
In today’s ever-changing health care environment, one thing is constant: you need to amplify your value to patients, insurers, other healthcare providers, and employers. And that requires more than just “checking a box” by taking a few online courses or watching some webinars to earn CEUs.
You need focused learning, personal connection, and professional growth. And the best place to get them is at the AAA Annual Convention 2026 in San Antonio, TX.
The AAA Annual Convention offers everything you need to amplify your value:
- Updates on key topics such as AI, genetics, and coding and reimbursement
- Opportunities to have fun and connect with fellow audiologists and industry partners
- Access to notable thought-leaders and ground-breaking innovations
- Engaging discussions about complex clinical cases, research findings, and new treatment protocols
- Practical guidance on leadership and strategies for advancing your career
- Forums for sharing perspectives with fellow audiologists across the practice spectrum
From expert presentations focused on practice management strategies and evidence-based clinical best practices, to networking events and impromptu hallway conversations that could lead you to your next mentor, AAA 2026 will provide a seamless professional growth experience that will expand your knowledge, your network, and your opportunities.
Amplify your value. Mark your calendar to join us in San Antonio, April 22-25 at AAA 2026.
