Hundreds of DC’s and students attended the Florida Chiropractic Society’s recent and famous Palm Beach convention. The FCS has made Palm Beach a permanent destination for its summer 20-hour CE event and demand has been greater every year since. This year’s convention produced the largest amount of exhibitors, attendees, C.A.’s and students from all over the continent, including Venezuela and the Caribbean.

After surveying the membership through the internet and at other FCS conventions, the FCS once again listened and provided a free marketing “Nuts & Bolts” workshop on the morning that the convention began, with some 100 DC’s and students in attendance. The event featured chiropractic speech coach Dr. Larry Duboff.

Dr. Duboff’s program attended by many first and second year practitioners featured such diverse topics as radio and TV marketing, professional speaking, relationship building in and out of your office and spinal screenings.

A chiropractic highlight was a very special “Saturday Night Live” which resulted in standing room only with some 200 attendees. The event featured a “Parade of Stars” and special guest speaker Dr. Dick Santo. The Saturday evening event was hosted by the Southern Chiropractic Association, a regional affiliate of the FCS and the largest local organization of Chiropractors in South Florida. The FCS is headed up by Dr. Paula Hedgelon, an extraordinary and loving chiropractor.

On Saturday, a memorable legislative luncheon was held. Many awards were handed out including a distinguished service award (see photo) to Dr. Mindy Weingarten. Also during the luncheon, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr of North Miami Beach was introduced as the new Florida Chiropractic Society President. Congratulations Dan!
