Trivia – TEXAS Style

A twist on the classic “town” (i.e. practicing clinicians) and “gown” (i.e. academics), this FUN HEARTED interactive session is heavily dependent upon audience participation and is sure to become an annual TAA conference event. Witness and contribute to the friendly opposition created between two panels comprised of “town” and “gown” folks competing for bragging rights. Bring some questions and be ready for a FUN way of getting those Tier I ABA credits!!

5:00pm Adjourn -- Enjoy a Night in Dallas!

* Tier 1 hours available if both sessions attended
