Practice OpportUnity ’26 - The Highlights

An Extraordinary Hybrid Event Connecting the Future of Chiropractic

Practice OpportUnity ’26 brought together the CMCC community and the chiropractic profession for one of our most successful events. With exceptional in-person engagement and strong virtual participation, this year’s hybrid format once again demonstrated the strength, collaboration, and momentum within our profession.

From meaningful student–practitioner conversations to dynamic exhibitor engagement, Practice OpportUnity continues to serve as CMCC’s premier networking and career development event.

In-Person Event

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 | CMCC Campus

This year’s in-person event saw remarkable growth and energy throughout the day.

  • 18 Sponsors
  • 15 Vendors
  • 25 Chiropractors in attendance
  • 400+ CMCC students, faculty, and staff participating throughout the day
  • Approximately 120 sponsors, vendors, and chiropractor booth representatives onsite

The exhibit hall was vibrant and fully engaged from start to finish, with students from Years I–IV actively networked, explored associateships, reviewed practices for sale, learned about equipment and services, and built professional relationships.

Year IV participation was strong, as expected, and engagement from Years I–III was especially encouraging – demonstrating early interest in career planning and professional development.

Thank You to Our Sponsors, Vendors & Chiropractors

Practice OpportUnity ’26 generated an estimated: $65,000 in Net Revenue

As a not-for-profit, charitable organization that receives no direct government funding, CMCC relies on events such as Practice OpportUnity to support institutional priorities and student initiatives. The continued growth of this event reflects both strong industry partnership and meaningful community investment.

The success of Practice OpportUnity ’26 would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, the innovation of our vendors, and the commitment of the chiropractors who traveled to attend in person or participated virtually.

Your engagement directly supports student success and strengthens the future of the chiropractic profession!

 


 

Looking Ahead
