Healthcare is advancing at an unprecedented pace—and nowhere is this more evident than in the field of dysphagia. As new technologies emerge and digital innovation continues to transform clinical practice, speech-language pathologists and dysphagia clinicians are being called to adapt, rethink traditional approaches, and embrace new ways of delivering care. The 2025 New York City Dysphagia Symposium invites you to be part of this evolution.

This two-day, in-person conference brings together internationally recognized experts, thought leaders, and practicing clinicians for a deep dive into the future of dysphagia assessment and treatment. Through lectures, case discussions, and networking, the symposium will explore how innovation intersects with patient-centered care ensuring that advancements never lose sight of the human experience behind swallowing disorders.

Why Attend the NYC Dysphagia Symposium?

The 2025 symposium is designed to support clinicians in all stages of their careers, offering evidence-based strategies that reflect the latest in swallowing science and patient care. While we embrace digital transformation and artificial intelligence in healthcare, this event keeps the focus squarely on how to apply these tools in real-life, compassionate, and effective clinical settings.

Participants will learn how healthcare innovation is:

  • Reshaping the diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia
