Published in VGM Government Relations on May 05, 2026

During the upcoming NCART/iNRRTS U.S. Rehab Legislative Conference, NCART and U.S. Rehab will host a Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) Product Expo on May 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Washington, D.C. This Expo is a valuable opportunity for members of Congress and their staff to see firsthand how CRT products impact independence, mobility, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

We encourage you to personally invite your federal legislator and their staff to attend. A direct invitation from constituents and industry experts makes a difference. 

Inviting them is quick and easy using the link below. A pre-drafted message is already prepared for you, but we strongly encourage you to personalize it—add your own invitation, request, or perspective to help underscore the importance of Complex Rehab Technology and why their presence matters.
