Therapy by the Sea 2023 Info Coming Soon!!!

Therapy by the sea is the NJSOP largest, most anticipated event of the year and the exhibit hall is the polestar of the entire event.

Over the years the association has asked exhibitors for their feedback and has used that to craft an event that is mutually beneficial for you, the exhibitor, and our attendees. Our goal is to make sure everyone in attendance feels welcome and wants to make this annual conference a part of their October each year.

Below, you can find answers to frequently asked questions - many of which are also answered within the exhibitor brochure.
