four days are your best opportunity each year to

of Architecture for Health of the American Institute of Architects, the International Interior Design Association, IFMA
Health Care Institute, Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design, American
Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers, and the American Society of
Interior Designers. Additionally, our team has collaborated with industry
experts and thought leaders to bring together the most comprehensive
educational event serving the healthcare design sector.
This year, we're offering more than 130 educational sessions across 12
tracks, covering topics ranging from improving the patient experience
and advancing evidence-based design to employing new technologies
and managing facilities. Sunday, Nov. 12, brings our opening keynote

HCD Expo is more than just bringing together
great products, networking, and educational opportunities, though; it's about bringing people
together to share ideas and inspire one another,
so everyone walks away with a better strategy to
reach their personal business goals.
I look forward to learning about what inspired you and how you inspired others during
the show. 
