GOING 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 ref lect 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.

EXCITING NEW ADDITIONS TO THE EXHIBIT HALL THIS YEAR:

» Revamped Job Center and New Career Fair

» Expanded CEU Opportunities in the Exhibit Hall

» New Tech Demonstration Showcase

» New Exhibit-Attendee Connect Program

» New registration offerings for exhibitors

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!
