Get registered for the Amputee Coalition 2015 National Conference in Tucson, Arizona. The Conference, which will be held July 23-25 at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa, will also include an Exhibit Hall, fun and entertaining adaptive sport and recreation events, as well as educational and technology sessions, and the Everyone’s a Star gala dinner/dance. These benefits are all included with your full conference registration fee. Among the featured programs will be Carol Miller and Karen Sullivan’s Gait Analysis Clinic; Kevin Carroll’s Above-Knee Bilateral Mobility Clinic; and Bob Gailey’s Sport and Performance Clinic.

The registration fee for an amputee to attend the Conference is $280 if you register by May 31, 2015. The registration fee increases to $350 after May 31, so register to attend the Conference now! If you have a family member or caregiver who would like to attend the Conference with you, they will also need to be registered at the family member/caregiver rate. Each person attending the Conference will need their own registration. Online registration for all attendees is available at the link above.

Please note that registration for the Gait Analysis Clinic, Sport and Performance Clinic, and the Above-Knee Bilateral Mobility Clinic is available when filling out the online form this year. Participation in these clinics is for amputees only; we suggest that you sign up for the clinics that you are interested in attending at the same time as you register to be sure that we are able to accommodate your participation. If you’re not able to sign up online, or before the Conference, there will be limited opportunities to register on-site at the Conference as well. The Amputee Coalition makes every attempt to allow everyone who wants to participate to do so.
