2025 Super Clinic
The ADS Super Clinic will be held July 31-August 3, 2025 in Charlotte, NC and will be offered in-person only. This clinic, held once every three years, serves to fulfill clinic requirements for all ADS Licenses.
We have excellent seminars planned! We have hired FEI Judge Andrew Counsell and Jen Verharen as clinicians, both have developed unique and engaging content. Other seminars will be taught by ADS Licensed Officials.
Meals provided with registration include: Thursday welcome party appetizers and drinks, breakfast and lunch on Friday & Saturday, Dinner on Saturday, and Breakfast on Sunday. Refreshments will be available for the duration of the sessions in the conference rooms.
There will be a welcome party at 5pm on Thursday July 31, with classroom sessions running all day August 1, 2, and half a day on August 3. The clinic will end by noon on August 3 so that Officials may spend most of the day on travel home. Officials should fly into the Charlotte airport and either taxi or ride share to the hotel. Once at the hotel, you will not need a rental car (there are many amenities within walking distance). Please book your rooms as early as possible, so that you are able to participate in our room block:
