Welcome!

It is with great hope and enthusiasm we plan to reconvene as a hand and upper extremity therapy community for this year’s 2021 Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO. The previous year has seen many hardships, challenges and difficulties, but we as a community have held strong and continued our work as clinicians, educators, researchers and advocates.

COVID-19 Update

We have your safety in mind at all times. Our in-person experience is a socially-distanced conference with multiple safety measures in place as per state, regional and local guidelines, and adheres to Marriott's “Commitment to Clean” standards. As a result, our in-person attendance is capped at 400. We anticipate the in-person event to sell out quickly, so don't wait — register and guarantee your seat today!

Testimonials

  • I attend the ASHT Annual Meeting to learn about clinical and research innovations in hand and upper extremity care and (re)connect with colleagues. It is also an opportunity for me to celebrate who we are and what we do as hand therapists.

  • Attending the ASHT Annual Meeting is the single most important thing a hand therapist can do to become enriched in educational and networking opportunities. It is an immediate introduction or welcome back to the hand therapy community that lends to leadership opportunities, personal connections and lifelong learning. I can't imagine a more important year than 2021 to come together.

  • I am thrilled ASHT chose my hometown of St. Louis for the 2021 annual meeting, and I can't wait to welcome attendees to my community. The meeting's program truly captures this year's theme of equity, community, and excellence, with high-impact and thought-provoking speakers who are leaders in hand surgery, therapy, and contemporary healthcare practice.

  • For me, the annual meeting brings together the resources I value most as a hand therapist. It brings together the people that perhaps you only see once a year, yet value your relationship, the high level evidence and science, as well as the networking and sharing opportunities with the creative minds that make up our profession.

  • I get so excited when it comes to annual conference time. I find the annual conference as a way to avoid a feeling of stagnant in my profession. It is a great way to immerse myself with colleges and data to help to push me forward. Always surround yourself with those you push you forward so you are not left behind. The community and connections you can make with other therapist is amazing.

  • After this very different year our world has walked through it will be so good to be back in community together at this first ever hybrid style meeting. I am glad we are able to make this valuable content accessible both to those able to gather in person and those joining virtually. I am excited as always for the quality presentations that will help me learn to strive.
