A new venue in Nashville, Tenn., proved to be music to participants’ ears, as last week’s International Seating Symposium boasted a significantly expanded assistive technology exhibit hall and a boom in attendee registration numbers.
Mark Schmeler, Ph.D., OTR/L, ATP, the 2011 event’s executive director, opened the official proceedings on the morning of March 3 by announcing that more than 100 exhibitors were in attendance, and that more than 100 educational sessions were being offered. In addition, attendees had come from 31 countries – and at that moment, registrations had topped 1,780.
