We are sorry to announce that our scheduled keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Butler, passed away unexpectedly on July 4, 2010. We have truly lost a friend, scholar and visionary who has impacted the field of physical therapy in such a profound way.  During ExPAAC, instead of hearing Dr. Butler's thoughts about how we as individuals and a society age, we will honor his contributions and endeavor to carry on his good work.

Dr. James Canton has graciously agreed to fill in as our closing keynote. His talk, "The Future of Wellness, Aging and Health" is sure to enlighten and inspire. We guarantee that you will not want to miss what he has to say!

Closing Keynote Address: "The Future of Wellness, Aging and Health"
The aging of society represents unique challenges for physical therapy professionals. Health promotion, disease prevention and wellness offer a blueprint for a healthy society of the future. What innovations and trends will drive this healthy future? What is it that physical therapists can do to embrace wellness and a healthier future for society? This presentation by America's leading futurist will explore what the future may hold for wellness, prevention, health enhancement and personalized medicine.
