The Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA) Annual Convention has always been the place where Texas speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and students come together to learn, recharge, and connect. This year, TSHA is introducing exciting new networking opportunities designed to help attendees build meaningful professional relationships, no matter where they are in their career journey.
Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall: Celebrating 70 Years of TSHA
Convention will kick off with a special Welcome Reception in the exhibit hall as TSHA celebrates its 70th birthday. Enjoy light refreshments while reconnecting with colleagues, meeting exhibitors, and commemorating seven decades of education, advocacy, and professional excellence. It’s the perfect way to start Convention!
Roundtable Hot Topic Discussions by Pathway
This year, roundtable hot topic discussions will be offered for each pathway, creating space for small-group dialogue around timely issues, emerging trends, and shared challenges. These informal sessions are perfect for exchanging ideas and connecting with colleagues who understand your day-to-day work. Be on the lookout for announcements with more details about topics and questions!
Speed Networking Sessions
Speed networking sessions offer a fast-paced, structured way to meet fellow attendees, mentors, and potential collaborators. Whether you’re expanding your professional circle or exploring new career possibilities, these sessions are designed to maximize connections in a fun, low-pressure environment.
Career Transition Topics
Our panel discussions this year will focus on new and engaging topics related to career transitions. Whether you’re considering a PhD or SLPD, thinking about a change in setting, or wanting to renegotiate your salary, these panel discussions will provide a welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, and gain insight from peers who have navigated these decisions before.
TSHA’s Annual Convention is almost here! Join us here to register and be part of the conversations shaping the future of our professions.
