Experience Ascend Anywhere
The ultimate rehab therapy business summit is going virtual with free webinar sessions throughout 2025.
Subscribe now to get on the list for all of our Ascend Sessions throughout the year.
We’re not limiting it to just a few days.
Live Ascend sessions will now be spread across 2025, so you can clear time on your schedule to attend without missing work. And if you still can’t get away, you can register to get the recording and watch it whenever you have time.
We’re still bringing the rehab therapy community together.
With family commitments and a long list of patients waiting to get in to see you, it can be hard to get away for industry events. So this year, we’re taking Ascend online so everyone can enjoy our thought-provoking sessions—even if they’re stuck at their desk.
You’ll get access to the same compelling sessions—for free.
Our virtual Ascend promises the same compelling sessions you’ve come to expect over the last twelve years. Our speakers will share their expertise to help you better run your business, improve your bottom line, and excel as a therapy professional. The best part of all? It’s free!

“The content is progressive and forward-thinking. Not just where we are today or maybe next year, where are we five years from now, ten years from now?”

Ascend FAQs
How do I sign up?
This page will be updated with new webinar dates and registration links as we schedule them with our hosts. You can also subscribe to our email list to receive invitations to each Ascend webinar directly in your inbox.
Can I still earn CEUs?
If an Ascend webinar session is CEU-eligible, we’ll list it as such. However, you can always access CEUs on the WebPT Marketplace. Use code ASCENDCEU for $50 off.
How will you replace the next-level networking at Ascend?
While we won’t be able to connect in person, each Ascend webinar will offer live Q&A and an open chat for discussion with hosts and attendees.
Is this just for 2025, or will Ascend always be virtual now?
While we’ll never say never, this is the format Ascend will be taking for the foreseeable future to provide more opportunities for rehab therapists from across the country to access the incredible content we can offer at Ascend—without the added travel or ticket costs.
Stay tuned as we announce additional Ascend webinar sessions throughout the year. To get updates sent directly to your inbox, join our email list today.

Speak on an Ascend Session
We’re looking for dynamic leaders to share strategies for success in rehab therapy. With Ascend’s virtual sessions, you can share your expertise from anywhere, live-streamed to a nationwide audience.
Submit your proposal on a business or practice management topic that’s centered around real-life, actionable insights to help clinics thrive. WebPT will review and select sessions based on their impact, relevance, and the overall balance of topic submissions for the year.
Does your practice have what it takes?
Just like in years past, we’re taking nominations for the Ascend Awards, which recognize two outstanding practices in two different ways.
Innovator of the Year
A total rehab therapy trailblazer who executes innovative, unique, and cool new ideas.
Practice of the Year
An industry leader—a practice that’s making waves and enjoying proven success.
Both awards are open to all outpatient physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy practices—you do not need to be a WebPT Member to win, nor does it increase your chances of winning. We’ll notify the finalists in August and formally announce the winners in September after the final webinar of the 2025 Ascend series.
