“This is a convenient, tremendous opportunity for DCs attending ACE to meet and recruit some of our incredibly talented students,” said Leslie Gasser, CUKC Senior Director of Alumni Engagement and Advancement. “With only 30 booths available, we expect them to go quickly.”
There is no cost to participate, Gasser said, and practicing DCs seeking to hire associates are encouraged to reserve their place as soon as possible. They can bring recruitment materials, including position descriptions and helpful information about their practice focus and its location.

More about the Annual Conference and Expo (ACE), September 11-13
Held at the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel (adjacent to the Overland Park Convention Center), the 2025 CUKC Annual Conference and Expo offers up to 20 CEUs, advanced sessions for chiropractic assistants and office staff, and networking with professionals from across the country.
This year’s plenary speaker is Sherry McAllister, DC, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), presenting “Building on the Lifestyle of Chiropractic: Live It, Love It, Teach It.”
She is joined by a lineup of 26 presenters. Sessions will cover the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of chiropractic, as well as topics including pregnancy, pediatrics, technique, sports performance, posture, business operations, regulatory compliance and more.
This year’s conference schedule also features a special four-hour chiropractic assistant track. It’s a learning journey for your staff, designed to teach chiropractic office professionals the most up-to-date techniques and communication strategies for generating more referrals, collections and patient compliance.
Cleveland University-Kansas City and Cleveland Chiropractic College alumni can also look forward to a happy hour reunion on Friday, September 12.
Gasser said this event would feature special recognition for the 25-year and 50-year reunion classes, as well as some surprise visits from favorite past professors and staff.
Additionally, attendees who register for ACE 2025 by August 15 can unlock bonus CE content from renowned DC and neurophysiologist Heidi Haavik. This exclusive one-hour CE course is available only to these early registrants.
