During the past half century, The Parker Seminars have offered the biggest, most star-studded and highly energized events in chiropractic history. They've never been topped – ever. But now, they're planning to top themselves. "You won't believe what you're going to see in 2003," Parker Seminar organizers are promising. And from the look of things, they're going to keep that promise.

On tap for the premier event of 2003 – set for January 30-February 2 in Las Vegas – are more than 100 special presenters and celebrities. While the list hasn't yet been released, insiders say many top chiropractic instructors will share the stage with some of the world's most famous health and wellness speakers – AND big-name celebrities.

"The line-up is incredible – some of the names will absolutely astound you," said Parker College President Fabrizio Mancini, D.C., with obvious excitement. "There will definitely be some surprises. We want to make this an event the whole profession can celebrate."

"This isn't just about speakers, though," Dana Mackison, D.C., director of seminars added. "The world has gone through a rough year. We need a chance to get together and celebrate being in this great profession. It'll be a way for us to create a fresh start, a new and exciting state of mind and body that will transform us and our practices."

Last year's 50th Anniversary seminar, presented under the theme "Celebrate the Past and Embrace the Future," drew more than 6,000 attendees and featured speakers such as Deepak Chopra and Nathaniel Branden. This year, organizers are gearing up for an even greater turnout, possibly as high as 8,000 D.C.s and 250 exhibitors. "We're going to turn the Las Vegas Hilton into the most spectacular gathering of chiropractors ever seen," Dr. Mackison pledged. "The raw energy that will fill this event will rival anything Las Vegas has experienced."

The Las Vegas Hilton was selected for the seminar since it's one of the few hotels able to accommodate the huge turnout expected. It offers more than 3,000 rooms and suites with a wide array of amenities. Parker Seminars has negotiated a special room rate of just $95 per night. To make hotel reservations, call 888-732-7117.
