AOHP TURNS 45!
JOIN OUR 80'S DRESS UP DAY ON SEPTEMBER 9
This year marks a major milestone—AOHP's 45th Anniversary! To celebrate, we're taking it Back to the 80's with a special 80's Dress Up Day during the AOHP 2026 National Conference.
We invite everyone to join the fun by wearing your favorite 80's-inspired attire—think neon colors, leg warmers, acid-wash denim, big hair, shoulder pads, tracksuits, rock star looks, and more during the Opening Keynote and Reception on Wednesday Sep 9!
We'll continue the festivities during the conference as we celebrate 45 years of supporting occupational health professionals in healthcare.
We can't wait to see your creativity and celebrate together!
