“The 2025 Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo in San Diego was an exceptional event that truly reflects the pulse of our industry. The learning sessions were insightful and highly relevant, offering practical knowledge that I can apply in my work. The expo space struck the perfect balance—intimate enough to foster meaningful conversations, yet expansive enough to showcase a wide range of innovative solutions. It was an outstanding opportunity to connect with peers and potential clients, and I left feeling inspired and energized by the ideas and collaborations sparked during the event.” Olivia Stanchina, Health Sales Manager, Kimball International

“This was our first year exhibiting at the HFSE and it did not disappoint.  It is one of the easiest shows from a planning perspective, actually probably THE easiest.  These folks have their act together.  It’s a comfortable networking environment and we will for sure be back next year in Charlotte.  THANK YOU.” Gary Schindele, President, Paladin Healthcare LLC

“HFSE was a true pleasure to attend this year. The expo hall, filled with natural light, created an inviting atmosphere and positive energy. Attendees represented a diverse mix of end users, A&D professionals, and contractors from across the country, which made for valuable conversations and connections. The show hours struck the perfect balance—long enough to engage without feeling drawn out. Thank you for hosting such a well-organized and impactful event!” Paul McKinney, National Healthcare Segment Director, Gerflor USA

“HFSE 2025 was a fantastic opportunity to engage with caregivers and architects who share a passion for advancing behavioral and mental health environments. At Pineapple, we believe the environment itself can serve as a form of treatment, and it was inspiring to see so much enthusiasm for solutions that de-institutionalize care and create more normative, human-centered spaces.” Daniel White, Principal, Pineapple

The beautiful setting in San Diego certainly fueled the collaborative spirit and reaffirmed how important it is to listen to every voice in the room when designing furniture that truly solves challenges in patient spaces. This show allows us to hear from a variety of perspectives, all whose main objective is improving healing environments. “ Emily Wentz, Wieland Healthcare

 “We have a long history (with HFSE).  It’s one of the more exciting healthcare formats and shows that we do annually.  One of my favorite things about HFSE is some of my best contracts and contacts I’ve ever gotten were at this tradeshow and that’s why we keep coming.  I would highly recommend this event for other people trying to break into the healthcare industry and the main reason is the synergy and the contacts and the decision makers you’ll meet annually.”  – Henry Mesa, CEO, Mesa Electronics

“HFSE has been a great show for us over the years.  We meet with a lot of qualified contacts – architects primarily, facilities directors, a lot of great people to connect with here.”   – Skye Witherspoon, CEO, Sky Factory

“We really find the value in the partnerships and people we are able to meet here. We meet a lot of design architects, meet general contractors, we meet owners from the hospital side which helps us design and implement our headwall systems into medical facilities.  I absolutely would recommend HFSE.  The caliber of the people that are here are true decision makers in these hospitals and you’re not going to meet a better group of folks to push whatever you’re trying to get into the newest healthcare facility.  Amico is a great example of this.  We continue to make great relationships here and we think you can too.”  – Dylan Hussey, Regional Sales Manager, AMICO Corporation

“SwiftWall chose to exhibit at HFSE 2022 because of the show’s attraction to the healthcare industry’s elected clientele. From facility managers, architects, designers, planners, GC’s and manufacturers, we knew the right mix would be in attendance.

FLEX Wall is our newest product for the healthcare industry and we wanted our launch to be felt with dramatic entrance at HFSE.” – BettyLynn Abercrombie, Account Executive, SwiftWall
