Convention 2026 - Beyond the Summit

ABCA Convention 2026
Next October, we’re heading Beyond the Summit — both literally and professionally — as the ABCA Convention 2026 takes place in spectacular Queenstown, right on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain ranges.
Our theme, “Beyond the Summit: Expanding Vision, Embracing Possibilities”, reflects the evolving spirit of ABC chiropractic — pushing limits, seeing further, and opening to the extraordinary. This Convention will be about setting your sights higher, sharpening your skills, and connecting more deeply with the people and ideas that will define the future of our profession.

Base camp will be the QT Queenstown
Set against a breathtaking alpine backdrop, QT Queenstown is where sophistication meets adventure. With floor-to-ceiling lake views, bold design, and world-class facilities, it’s the perfect base for our Convention focused on bold thinking and limitless potential.
The hotel is steps from Queenstown’s vibrant town centre and just 15 minutes from the airport. See below for our accommodation deal.
Why Queenstown?
Queenstown is where inspiration lives. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and rugged beauty, it’s not just a location — it’s a catalyst for clarity, creativity, and connection.
This global destination offers an unmatched mix of adventure and serenity — from mountain biking to wine tasting, jet boating to hot pools. We encourage you to bring the family and explore the region during your visit.
What to Expect at Convention 2026
- Future-focused keynote speakers and presenters who challenge, excite, and inspire
- Hands-on advanced clinical sessions and ABC mastery workshops to sharpen your edge
- Interactive diagnostics and practical deep-dives into real-world application
- Inspiring connections with ABC practitioners from across the globe
- Celebration of community — because ABCA is powered by the people who show up and embrace the joy of Convention
- Unforgettable moments in one of the most breathtaking locations on earth
Since our first Convention in Bali back in 2015, each event has been a stepping stone — raising the bar, strengthening our community, and reminding us why we do what we do.
Queenstown 2026 will be no different. In fact, it may just be the most powerful yet.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or newer to the ABC family, this is your opportunity to look up, think big, and step fully into the possibilities ahead.
Beyond the Summit starts here. Join us.

“There is nothing I would have changed. It was perfect!”
Feedback from Convention 2022, Sanctuary Cove:
“Thanks to everyone for an incredible 3 days! You all rock! It’s inspiring and empowering to be involved with ABCA and ABC. Its very rare to come across such an amazing group of people. We have an extraordinary balance between masculine and feminine traits within the group and this is also a rare find amongst organisations. I believe it is a major driving force that will continue to propel us forward with momentum and courage! I’ve never attended an event with that level of collective authenticity among people. I loved hearing everyone’s stories. As a group we have incredible characteristics of empathy, trust, innovation, creativity, inclusivity, equity, we embrace hard conversations, we can give and receive feedback, problem solve and make ethical decisions! The effects of this gathering will be far reaching. I love you all!!!”
“Overall it was an awesome weekend, but a highlight for me was connecting with more ABC chiros. I was blown away by how friendly and passionate everyone was. Such an amazing community to be a part of.”
“Loved the vibe you guys carried in the room throughout the seminar, and the Convention itself was amazing.”
Feedback from Convention 2019, Singapore:
“I thought the whole thing was absolutely fantastic. The best convention of the three I’ve attended. The community team building, motivation and learning was exemplary. The choice of venue and all the inclusions of food and beverage was extremely good value. 10/10”
“Hotel was fabulous, organization was seamless, the tribe was awesome, the flow and feel were delicious.”
