Why you should attend the 2010 Annual Conference & Technical Exhibition
Value for your investment
The 2010 Annual Conference pays for itself. But, with many travel budgets limited this year, it's important to clearly state the return on investment for attending the conference to the decision maker at your organization. Check out the Economic Justificatin Toolkit to see how we can help you in this effort.
Great networking
Members say that getting together with peers is the most effective way to learn from each other and share resources. The SHCA Annual Conference provides unequaled networking opportunities. (And, members tell us, that it's a lot of fun.)
Professional Development
The variety of learning sessions includes panel discussions, interactive experiences, and general sessions by recognized industry leaders all in one place and all for one price.
Location, location, location
Host city Pittsburgh is centrally located and easily accessible by air, train, or auto. The Omni William Penn provides the perfect destination for conference learning as well as networking with your colleagues.
Celebrate Patient Advocacy Week
Across the country, we will celebrate Patient Advocacy Week from April 11th through April 17th, 2010. Join your colleagues in celebrating the profession and the contributions you make to healthcare by attending the conference.
