On November 9, 2019, in conjunction with the ChiroCongress annual convention in San Diego, CA, the Future of Chiropractic Forum was held and stakeholders from across the country were invited to participate in this historic event. Representatives from state association leadership, colleges, national organizations, corporate partners, individual practitioners, and more joined together to share their viewpoints through a facilitated discussion focused on what the future of chiropractic looks like in the next 50 years with a goal of identifying a specific effort that a diverse group of individuals and organizations could support. It was concluded that the profession needs a strategic plan. ChiroCongress agreed to take on the coordination of this effort on behalf of the profession and to dedicate resources to help manage the project.

In August of 2020, that visionary idea became The Future of Chiropractic Visioning and Strategic Planning Project. Massive quantitative and qualitative data gathering, from all corners of the profession, successfully identified common goals and priorities. Intensely spirited and collaborative workgroup sessions, representing the breadth of the profession, accomplished the heavy-lift of creating an actionable, measurable plan. Eighteen months after the idea was born, an historic 2021 – 2026 strategic plan has been developed.

The project was broken down into 3 phases and led by 3 professional strategy development organizations Future iQ. Sharity. & OnStrategy.

Phase I : Data Collection (concluded on March 5, 2021)
Phase II : Plan Development  (concluded on June 4, 2021)
