The NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee has been hard at work to provide educational opportunities to members.

As domestic travel begins to resume, and some mask mandates and physical distancing regulations ease due to the availability of vaccinations it is exciting to think about the opportunity of re-engaging in international travel. Even more exciting is the possibility of face-to-face interactions with international colleagues.

The new and improved 2021 NATA Virtual Clinical Symposia & AT Expo platform offers several ways for attendees to connect with the companies that support the athletic training profession. Attendees can post in the AT Expo Exhibitor Chat, participate in a video chat or simply request info by leaving contact information.
