Student Night with Dr. Laurence Tham and Dr. Jamie Richards

ASCEND | Two Paths. 25 Years. No Filter.

Dr. Laurence Tham and Dr. Jamie Richards graduated together in 2002. Since then, they have taken completely different roads — one built his career across three continents, one built a thriving practice right here in Canada. Between them, nearly 50 years of combined experience in practice ownership, coaching, and mentoring chiropractors at every stage of their careers.

On Friday night they are sitting down together to share what that journey actually looked like — through the stories, the pivots, the mistakes, and the moments that changed everything.

No slides. No pitch. No polish. Just two guys who have been where you are, telling you what they wish someone had told them — and answering your questions at the end.

Key Bullet Points

• The real decisions that shape your first years in practice — and how to make them with clarity instead of regret
• Two paths, one destination — honest lessons from the road not taken
• What nobody teaches you in chiropractic school
• Nearly 50 years of combined experience — told through real stories, not a highlight reel
• Open Q&A — come with your questions

✨ Bonus perks:

• Free event – all students welcome

• If there’s enough interest, complimentary transportation to and from CMCC will be arranged

• 🎟️ The first 5 students to reach out will receive a FREE ticket to the AFC Spring Conference (May 30–31, 2026)

This is an incredible learning opportunity you won’t want to miss—and the perfect way to lead into a powerful weekend of growth and connection.

We look forward to seeing you there!
