Big
IN BALTIMORE
DEAR EXHIBITOR,
This year’s AHIMA Convention is sure to be big in every way. A record
number of abstract submissions have come through, promising to
“Inspire BIG Thinking to Launch our Future.” We will explore not only
issues in the HIM profession, but also innovations our exhibitors bring
to the marketplace. I hope you’ll be among them.
Our attendees are as eager as we are to explore how to push the industry
beyond ICD-10 and realize the full potential of rich clinical data. As
an exhibitor, you can step into the spotlight at the only convention that
brings together HIM professionals from every setting and job function.
For this year’s AHIMA Convention, we are going BIG on:
CONTENT: We are busy shaping content for this year’s educational
sessions, in keeping with AHIMA’s reputation as the industry gold
standard. Our goal is to give attendees the knowledge and insights they
need to succeed in a rapidly changing HIM environment.
CARE: AHIMA volunteers, members and subject matter experts are
committed to improving patient care, and their expertise extends from
acute care to specialty and non-payer settings. Our Convention will
reflect the diversity of our members’ knowledge, and together we will
tackle the issues that influence virtually every industry function.
COMMERCE: Our work is vital to the HIM industry, now more than
ever. We provide the resources, tools and education to improve HIM
professional practice and standards – and we do it with you as our
partner. By exhibiting with us and showcasing your products, you can
help us advance the cause of healthcare information and, as a result, the
quality of care delivered.
From the welcome reception to our high-profile closing speaker, the 2016
AHIMA Convention will engage and invigorate. It’s a key opportunity for you
to educate industry professionals and leaders seeking the latest software and/or
staffing solutions. Join our effort to Inspire BIG Thinking as we set out to make
#AHIMACon16 a meaningful — and memorable — event.
We invite you to join us in Baltimore!
