31st Annual Virginia Miller Educational Seminar

We’re thrilled to announce our 31st Annual Virginia Miller Educational Seminar, taking place on October 24th at Guy’s Party Center in Akron! This year’s event will feature separate morning and afternoon sessions, with the afternoon offering two different sessions with unique speakers and topics.

Our distinguished speakers include Dan Fedor from VGM/US Rehab, Jay Doherty from Pride/Quantum, and Byron Guisbert from Adaptive Switch Labs. In the coming weeks, we’ll highlight each of these experts. Today, we’re excited to spotlight Dan Fedor. His presentation, "Documentation Life Preserver," will teach attendees how to efficiently and compliantly complete effective evaluations for mobility products, reducing the time spent on documentation. This popular presentation has been a hit nationwide, so be sure not to miss it. Note that this will be the same presentation he delivered at Miller’s Mobility Conference in Columbus earlier this year.

Stay connected with us on social media and watch for updates on our seminar web page, where you’ll find regular updates and registration information. The 31st edition of the Virginia Miller Memorial Educational Seminar is shaping up to be something special. We can’t wait to see you on October 24th!
