AuDtonomy 2026 - Agenda

Register

We have an outstanding program put together featuring private practice owners and experts representing different practice types, specialties, sizes, and locations around the country. The AuDTONOMY program will begin with an engaging panel discussion on business planning and interpersonal dynamics in any practice setting. From there we will split into two tracks (Building a Business Plan and Interpersonal Dynamics).

UNIVERSITY FACULTY—if you wish to add this program to your curriculum/planning agenda or to register an entire class or cohort for this event, please contact me and I can assist with offering a complimentary registration for you and all of your students, when done as a group/team. Faculty members are welcome to attend. We do plan to apply for CEUs to support early career audiologists, faculty, and all audiologists who are private practice curious, so please share with your colleagues.
