&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: We typically have a range of attendees from 100 -130 people. A significant portion of our registrants register close to the registration deadline. We typically have final numbers about a week before the conference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Can I receive a contact list for attendees?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;VOTA allows registrants to opt in or out of having their contact information shared with vendors at the time of their registration. Vendors will be provided with the contact information of attendees who have opted in within 2 weeks after the conference ends. Vendors are strongly encouraged to bring their own sign in sheet to collect additional emails from attendees who visit their table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will attendees have specific times to visit my table?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: Attendees will have time to visit tables during breaks, poster sessions, and throughout the course of the day.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What time can I set up?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: We are still finalizing the conference schedule, but we anticipate that you will be able to set up your table around 7:30 or 7:45. &lt;font color="#000000"&gt;More detailed information, including exact times and parking instructions, will be shared approximately a month before the event.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Are vendor/sponsor tables for Saturday and Sunday?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: Tables are available only for Saturday&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will there be electricity for my table?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: This varies from venue to venue. Please reach out to us prior to registering to inquire about availability at this year’s venue&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#326094" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Can I ship you items for my table?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A: Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to have items shipped to the venue or to VOTA members&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Introduction to High Intensity Training for Occupational Therapy (Saturday, November 14, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Translating neurorehabilitation research into real-world occupational performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Saturday, November 14th &amp;amp; Sunday, September 15th&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;18 AOTA Approved CEUs&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eager to Elevate Your Practice?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to safely implement high intensity, occupation-based neurorehabilitation to improve functional outcomes and participation for stroke, TBI, and iSCI survivors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You've seen the research...but translating high intensity neurorehabilitation into meaningful occupational therapy interventions can feel overwhelming. You will receive guided application for utilizing evidence-based assessment tools, applying neuroplasticity principles, increasing treatment intensity safely, and improving occupational performance outcomes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Experience two full days of hands-on training and resources to support immediate translation of HIT into your clinical practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Translating neurorehabilitation research into real-world occupational performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Saturday, November 14th &amp;amp; Sunday, September 15th&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eager to Elevate Your Practice?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to safely implement high intensity, occupation-based neurorehabilitation to improve functional outcomes and participation for stroke, TBI, and iSCI survivors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You've seen the research...but translating high intensity neurorehabilitation into meaningful occupational therapy interventions can feel overwhelming. You will receive guided application for utilizing evidence-based assessment tools, applying neuroplasticity principles, increasing treatment intensity safely, and improving occupational performance outcomes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Experience two full days of hands-on training and resources to support immediate translation of HIT into your clinical practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
