WFC ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL 2021 BIENNIAL CONGRESS LINE-UP

Toronto, June 21, 2021. The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) has announced the academic program for its upcoming virtual Biennial Congress - and it promises to be the most diverse line-up ever assembled at a WFC event.

The Congress, which takes place September 23-25, 2021 is being held virtually as a result of ongoing international travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The WFC has partnered with Parker Seminars to host its event using a state-of-the-art hosting platform, which promises to deliver an outstanding user experience. The entire three-day event will also be accessible on-demand to those registering for the Congress.

2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the WFC's Biennial Congress. Since its inaugural meeting in Toronto back in 1991, chiropractic has advanced around the globe. This year, our 16th Biennial Congress reflects an unprecedented time in our history. COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of our lives. It has presented challenges for clinicians, educators, students and scientists within the chiropractic profession. It has also acted as a catalyst for inspiration, innovation and opportunity.

Our 2021 Biennial Congress will showcase the leading global advances in chiropractic. With contributors from around the globe, the theme of Chiropractic For A New Normal will showcase leading contemporary issues, with outstanding keynote speakers, stimulating panel discussions, ground-breaking research and inspirational subject specific content-experts.

Plenary sessions will cover themes of patient-centeredness, interprofessionalism, collaboration, futurism, and adaptation to a new normal.

Presenters have been drawn from each of the WFC's 7 world regions and 19 countries are represented by the speaker faculty.

Besides a host of prominent chiropractic speakers from the world of chiropractic, highlights in the program include: Dr Nakela Cook, Executive Director of PCORI; medical philosopher, Dr Jeremy Howick; Duke University's Director of MSK Research, Professor Steven George; and G-MUSC's Professor Andrew Briggs.

The Congress also constitutes the largest international chiropractic scientific meeting, with researchers from around the world presenting original and published abstracts. For the first time, this Congress will also feature innovative digital poster sessions.

Complete with a virtual exhibition hall, the 2021 WFC Biennial Congress has something for every chiropractor across the entire spectrum of the profession.
