Acupuncture innovators and Contemporary Acupuncture "giants" from around the world have been invited to present including Dr. Narda Robinson, who heads the Colorado State University Center for Comparative and Integrative Pain Medicine. Over the past 16 years, Dr. Robinson has been a leader in the acupuncture field and has taught a variety of medically based acupuncture courses.

Based on the input from previous conference participants, the planning committee will continue to expand on the goal of providing attendees with a wealth of practical clinical pearls and demonstrations. This will be further highlighted by the fact that presenters will be amongst the world's top leaders and trendsetters in the contemporary acupuncture, and neurofunctional acupuncture field.

The conference will also highlight emerging evidence found in contemporary acupuncture research that will assist those attending in enhancing clinical decision - making relating to diagnosis & contemporary acupuncture treatment.
