Exhibitor Information:

The NACHC Pol­icy & Issues Forum and EXPO (P&I) brings together more than 2,300 Com­mu­nity Health Center lead­ers to engage in one of THE largest Wash­ing­ton, DC-based con­fer­ences focused on health care pol­icy. The P&I is the heart­beat of grass­roots activ­ity for health cen­ter advo­cates, who gather in a dynamic set­ting to set strate­gies for leg­isla­tive advo­cacy and polit­i­cal engage­ment with elected rep­re­sen­ta­tives. The 2018 P&I comes at a crit­i­cal time for the nation, now in the midst of an unprece­dented trans­for­ma­tion of its health care deliv­ery sys­tem set in motion by the land­mark health reform law and recent boosts in fed­eral sup­port for health cen­ters. Mem­bers of Con­gress and Pres­i­dents from both sides of the polit­i­cal aisle have long under­stood that health cen­ters are key to reform­ing and improv­ing our health sys­tem. In the com­ing years, health cen­ters will expand access to care by serv­ing new patients, expand­ing to new com­mu­ni­ties, and adding more com­pre­hen­sive ser­vices. All of this is occur­ring as health cen­ters con­tinue to drive our pri­mary care sys­tem towards a dynamic, patient-cen­tered and  team-based model of care for the 21st cen­tury and beyond.

Com­pa­nies par­tic­i­pat­ing in the P&I EXPO and spon­sors will take advan­tage of a 40 to 1 oppor­tu­nity ratio; mean­ing there are approx­i­mately 40 atten­dees for every one par­tic­i­pat­ing exhibit­ing com­pany. At that rate, this one-day EXPO pro­vided each of the 56 exhibit­ing com­pa­nies in 2016 with an inti­mate show­case. Don’t miss your chance to join us for 2018, with the urgency in con­tin­u­ing CHCs rapid patient growth and health reform imple­men­ta­tion, this show is grow­ing.

NACHC is com­mit­ted to keep­ing our exhibit costs con­tained, by pro­vid­ing you with a booth pack­age that includes many nec­es­sary exhibit ser­vices and booth equip­ment there­fore keep­ing addi­tional fees to a min­i­mum.
