“Seattle is a city that is home to innovation and has been on the forefront of visionary adaptations from music to technology and industry.”
Brenna Carroll, AuD, Program Chair, AAA 2023+HearTECH Expo
Seattle, Washington is a fitting place for AAA 2023+HearTECH Expo to set up shop and call home from April 19–22. Audiology is entering a new era with government-regulated over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, compacts such as the ASLP-IC facilitating interstate practice and tele-practice, and advancements in technology and best clinical practices in a post-COVID-19 world.
Why Seattle?
If you’re a Midwest or East coast resident, this is your time to find out if West coast really is the best coast! If you’re a native, or live a state or two over, take a short drive over to show the newcomers what Seattle has to offer. Not only will you get an amazing conference experience with 10 featured sessions, 200+ clinical and research posters, dozens of networking events and activities, and chances to make connections with industry professionals, but you can see an incredible city in the process.
