Austin Here We Come!
In just over a month, we will all be gathered at the 37th Annual Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo. We have quite a line up this year over two and a half days, including 3 keynotes over 55 sessions featuring a roster of over 200 industry leaders speaking, an exhibit hall packed with companies eager to show you their latest products and services and so much more.
I want you to register for the event if you have not already and come to Austin for the all the education and sourcing innovative products and solutions in our exhibit hall. I also know how important networking with your industry peers is, and how much more important in person networking has become in the past several years. I thought I would share our top three networking events that you need make sure are on your schedule when at the Symposium in Austin this September.
- Opening Reception and Symposium Party! Talk about an event highlight. It is your first chance to see all the exhibitors and talk with them about their latest products and services. We’ll be serving drinks and appetizers so you can catch up with your fellow attendees. The Symposium Party also features our annual raffle, where you can buy tickets to win prizes ranging from Apple products to Kate Spade bags to Amazon gifts cards and so much more. The best part is 100% of the proceeds from the raffle go to benefit a charitable organization, and this year we’ll be supporting For Every Child, Inc which is a charity based in Austin. Their main initiative is called Hope Totes which focuses entirely on children arriving in emergency shelters or safe houses and those entering the foster care system after being removed from abuse or neglect. Each year, they assemble and donate as many Hope Totes as they can, to children entering emergency shelters and the foster care system. Removed from abuse and neglect, these kids are alone and afraid. A small act of love delivered in a hopeful tote reminds them that someone does care.
- Ice Cream Social! This is your last chance to visit with exhibitors and thank them for their support of the Symposium. And to make it a little more tempting we provide ice cream as a mid-afternoon snack for all in attendance. Feel like a kid again, grab a sweet treat and make one last circle around the exhibit floor.
- Happy Hour! Now this is the time to get away from the convention center, maybe change into a little more casual attire and check out a local watering hole.
If you still need to register, as a reader of The Leaflet, you can receive a 10% discount if you register by August 31. Use VIP Code LT24.* Enjoy the last few weeks of summer and I will see you in Austin very soon!
Be Well,
