MOTA 2026 Annual Conference
Save the Date: September 26, 2026
We’re excited to announce that the MOTA Conference is returning in person this year! Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at McDaniel College.
The Power of Occupation: Empowering Lives Through Purposeful Doing
The 2026 MOTA conference celebrates the heart of occupational therapy: the powerful, life-shaping impact of what people do every day. The Power of Occupation: Empowering Lives Through Purposeful Doing invites practitioners, educators, students, and thought leaders to explore how meaningful engagement in occupations drives health, identity, and well-being—not only for the clients we serve, but also for ourselves as professionals and human beings.
