MAOT/RIOTA Annual Conference 2026

It takes place at Four Points by Sheraton Norwood in Norwood, Massachusetts.

The organizer lists occupational therapy practitioners, students, and health and rehabilitation professionals as audience groups.

It suits occupational therapy practitioners, students and allied rehabilitation staff, since the sponsors include the American Occupational Therapy Association, the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy, Bay Path University and Brown University Health, which gives a chance to meet certifiers, schools and employers. Therapists wanting a large product exhibit hall or a national audience would get less, as the sponsor list leans toward service providers, schools and nonprofits.

Occupational therapists at state association conferences usually wear business casual or comfortable professional clothes, with layers for a November hotel venue in Massachusetts.
