Dear TAOP Member:

We would like to invite you to attend our upcoming 2010 Annual Scientific Education Conference in South Padre Island, Texas from April 15-17, 2010.  The conference will be held at the Sheraton South Padre Hotel, located on the Beach.

TAOP will kick off the conference on Thursday with an early morning Bay Fishing Tournament, (only 21 seats available) followed by a four (4) hour PCE Early Bird Scientific Workshop, presented by Allard USA.  We will end the day with our FREE Exhibitor Hosted "Beach Party" from 6-8pm.

On Friday, we have 15 various Exhibitor Educational Workshops where attendees can qualify for an additional eight (8) PCE Credits.  This year TAOP will provide lunch to those who register for Friday Workshops.  We will end our day with our Annual TAOP "Welcome Reception" from 6-8pm.

Attendees won't want to miss Saturday's General Session and qualify for an additional 5-6 PCE Credits.  The Texas Board of Orthotics & Prosthetics will begin our educational portion of the program, by presenting an hour presentation on upcoming changes that may affect the way you conduct business in the State of Texas.  In addition, we have an excellent array of guest speakers with powerful scientific education presentations.
