ACA Engage 2026 to feature new CE, social opportunities

Doctors of chiropractic and students attending the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) annual conference, ACA Engage, in January 2026 will have expanded opportunities to enhance their clinical knowledge and enjoy social time while in the nation’s capital.

Along with regularly planned education programs, Engage 2026 will include a post-conference seminar, “Chiropractic Management of Common Infant Conditions.” The 2 CE course, presented by Jennifer Brocker, DC, DICCP, president of the ACA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics, will dive into the three most common presenting conditions of infancy. Using clinical case examples and current evidence, Dr. Brocker will discuss the best management protocols for the conditions. She also brings her 17 years of specialized pediatric practice to the presentation, which is a must for any DC who treats young patients.

In addition to education, attendees can take part in new social events in the form of two group tours: “Monuments by Night,” which takes participants around the nation’s capital to view storied monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, and “Nightmares and Nightcaps Ghost Walk,” an entertaining stroll through Old Town Alexandria peppered with tales of ghostly encounters and featuring stops at local pubs.

“We know Engage attendees want to serve their patients better by continually expanding their knowledge and skills,” notes ACA President Marc Nynas, DC, “but they also enjoy simply being together and strengthening professional bonds through networking and shared social experiences. Engage 2026 hits both those marks in a big way.”

Engage 2026 will take place Jan. 22-24, 2026, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Arlington, Va. In addition to presentations from chiropractic thought leaders and clinical experts, the conference features continuing education (CE) programs, professional and leadership development, networking opportunities and the profession’s only federal lobbying day, Chiropractic’s Day on the Hill.

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is the largest professional chiropractic organization in the United States. ACA attracts the most principled and accomplished chiropractors, who understand that it takes more to be called an ACA chiropractor. We are leading our profession in the most constructive and far-reaching ways — by working hand in hand with other health care professionals, by lobbying for pro-chiropractic legislation and policies, by supporting meaningful research and by using that research to inform our treatment practices. We also provide professional and educational opportunities for all our members and are committed to being a positive and unifying force for the practice of modern chiropractic. Visit acatoday.org.
