Find The PAth
forward.
A one-day national gathering for anyone on The PAth — from pre-PA to seasoned PA — built to mentor, connect, and grow the profession at every stage of the journey.
You already know them from your feed.
Our keynote is Joseph, "The RaddestPA" — one of the most-followed PAs on social media. He's joined by other PA influencers who take the stage for live panels, speaking directly to attendees. They're not doing a guest spot. They're working PAs who show up because they want to mentor the next generation and give back to the profession that shaped them.
More speakers will be announced in the lead-up to the conference — check back to see who's added to the lineup.
Every PA's path runs through four stops.
The PAth is built around the moments that shape a career — from choosing this profession to leading it.
Learn
Getting into PA school and building the foundation.
Connect
Finding mentors, peers, and community along the way.
Grow
Graduating, negotiating your first contract, and building skill.
Lead
Facing burnout, finding longevity, and leading the profession.
An abbreviated day, still fully guided.
Check-in opens early. The morning runs keynote to panels, midday breaks for lunch, the afternoon splits into breakout sessions, and the day closes with final remarks, networking, and an evening social.
Light snacks are available throughout the day, courtesy of our generous sponsors.
Three conversations, one path.
Each panel pairs the PA voices you follow online with the audience, live, for real Q&A.

Zoom in on your stretch of the trail.
From 12:00 to 1:45, the day splits into smaller sessions built around the moments that define a PA career. You'll have multiple chances to move between rooms, so you're not locked into just one topic.
New grad & mentorship
Finding footing in your first role and the mentors who help you find it.
Burnout & transitioning between specialties
Recognizing burnout early, and what it takes to pivot mid-career.
Contracts
What to ask for, what to watch out for, and common pitfalls new grads hit.
Navigating specialty medicine
Choosing a specialty and what it's really like to practice in it.
Topics are still tentative. Session titles and facilitators will be announced soon.
The path keeps going after 3:00.
Two more chances to connect with the group, on your own time.
Evening social
From 6:30 PM at The Inner Rail in Aksarben Village. More room to talk shop, or not talk shop at all.
The PAth at the Zoo
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium — the No. 1 zoo in the country. An optional, low-key morning for anyone who wants one more round of networking before heading home. Tickets available for purchase separately.
Built for everyone on The PAth.
Wherever you are in the journey, there's a place for you here.
