The International Seating Symposium (ISS), hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Science and Technology Continuing Education, has announced the return of its Virtual Professional Summit (VPS) for 2026.
The ISS:VPS will be held on Wed., Jan. 28, and Wed., Feb. 25, next year.
“Each day will showcase four educational courses intercut with social discussions and supporter spotlights,” the ISS said in a supporter prospectus sent out Oct. 20. Supporter spotlight sessions will showcase new seating and wheeled technology products.
The University of Pittsburgh’s RSTCE hosts in-person ISS events in odd-numbered years. In 2024, the RSTCE debuted the ISS:VPS to offer online continuing education units for seating professionals via a two-day educational summit.
In a Mobility Management interview published last year, Rachel M. Hibbs, DPT, NCS, ATP/SMS, co-director of the ISS, said the split format of the ISS:VPS means clinicians, providers and students won’t need to miss consecutive days of clinic or school to attend the online sessions.
