Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of camaraderie with colleagues from around the world while enjoying the stunning surroundings of Clearwater Beach.
Whether you’re a seasoned ICA member or a first-time attendee, this is an opportunity to:

Join us at the Annual Awards Banquet to hear from our featured keynote speaker. Dr. Andrew Jeter is “The Chiropractor Who Saved Notre Dame’s Season.” When injuries threatened to keep his son Mitch from playing his final year of college football, Dr. Jeter mobilized to ensure that his son received the best possible care to heal properly, and quickly. By committing to a regimen of traditional practices, they achieved their goal of returning Mitch to the field–and then exceeded all expectations to make history.
Dr. Andrew Jeter has over 30 years of experience in chiropractic. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from East Carolina University in 1990, where he was a student-athlete, before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College in 1993. While at Palmer, he interned with extremity expert Dr. Mitch Mally, DC, with whom he continues to study.
After graduating, Dr. Jeter returned to his hometown of Charlotte, NC, to establish his first practice. In 1996, he acquired a historic chiropractic clinic in Salisbury, NC, originally founded in 1949, which has served the Rowan County community for decades.
In 2015, Dr. Jeter co-founded the Carolina Chiropractors Association, an organization dedicated to continuing education, CA training, events, and advocacy. He has served as founding president, vice president, and secretary and remains an active board member. Under his leadership, the association achieved PACE recognition from the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards in 2024.
As Director of Education and principal instructor for CA certification programs, Dr. Jeter has trained hundreds of chiropractic assistants in North Carolina. Through his teaching, leadership, and practice, he remains committed to advancing chiropractic and fostering a deeper understanding of innate healing.
This is what it’s all about.
