NHPCO’s 2021 VIRTUALINTERDISCIPLINARYCONFERENCE

CONFERENCE DATES / SEPTEMBER 20 – 22, 2021EXHIBITOR AND SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS

THE VIRTUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE – AN INTRODUCTIONTo continue serving the hospice and palliative care community safely and to make the programming accessible to as many people as possible amidst a resurgence of COVID-19, NHPCO will host the Interdisciplinary Conference (IDC) as an all-virtual, 3-day event, rather than hosting an in-person event as originally planned. Taking lessons from our recent conferences, we have plans to make IDC a unique opportunity for your company to showcase your products and services before a diverse array of hospice and palliative care professionals from all backgrounds. Participants of this event come to experience a unique blend of keynotes, on-demand sessions, and networking opportunities all grounded in the philosophy of the interdisciplinary organization.

WHO ATTENDS?The Virtual Exhibit Hall provides conference participants an opportunity to learn about the latest products and services in the industry. It is a showcase of new innovations and developments to help the members of the interdisciplinary team improve care of patients and families.

NHPCO’s IDC 2021 is designed to attract end-of-life care providers including:

■ CEO’s/Executive Directors

■ Physicians and Medical Directors

■ Social Workers

■ Clinical Operations Managers

■ Nurses and Advance Nurse Practitioners

■ Bereavement

■ Palliative Care

■ Regulatory/Compliance Officers

■ Quality Professionals

WHY EXHIBIT?As an exhibitor and/or sponsor, you have the chance to influence a focused and innovative audience. As a vital extension of the educational programming, the Exhibit Hall provides opportunities for participants to update their knowledge of the latest products, programs and services, uncover emerging trends in the field and develop valuable connections.
