The Medtrade Annual Conference is taking place Oct. 26 – Oct. 29 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA. This conference has so many great sessions and exhibitors that it has become the cornerstone of HME events. If you are looking to gain insight into DME competitive bidding, reimbursement, audits, retail and other industry issues and hot topics, then this is the place to be. Thousands of HME leaders attend this conference each year to learn and catch a glimpse of what’s to come the following year. You’ll find practical takeaways and gain a better understanding of the current legislative and regulatory landscape, as well as applicable knowledge to grow in these conditions.

The Home Care Association of American (HCAOA) 2015 Leadership Conference will be held on Sept. 27 – 30 in Washington, D.C. at the historic Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. The HCAOA was formed as the nations’ first group that represents both medical and non-medical private duty home care. They are a strong voice of advocacy representing these ever-growing home-based services.

The Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina’s Annual Leadership Conference will be held Sept. 21–22, 2015 at the Holiday Inn Resort at Wrightsville Beach. What I really like about this conference is that most of the sessions are uniquely crafted to focus on decisions made at a management level and come from leaders who work or have worked closely in the home care, home health or hospice field. It doesn’t hurt that this year’s conference is located directly on the beach!

The much-anticipated HME News Business Summit is only a week away and will kick off on Sept. 13 – 15 at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University. This is a great annual meeting that brings HME industry leaders together to discuss and strategize growth. While it offers important sessions discussing regulations, technology and the future of the industry, the conference organizers also do a great job of providing attendees with multiple opportunities for networking. This is truly a one-of-a-kind conference for attendees to learn from one another, share ideas and network, and in my experience, that has really become the main attraction for this event.

The Texas Association for Home Care & Hospice will host their 46th Annual Meeting next week (Aug. 11 – 13) at the Moody Gardens Resort and Conference Center in Galveston, TX and we are looking forward to participating as an exhibitor. The theme of this year’s conference, “Looking Beyond the Horizon” will have speakers covering topics that I believe will provide attendees a better sense of the future changes for home-based healthcare services.

Here are three sessions I think really hone in on the “future” theme of the week and highly recommend attending at the upcoming conference:

The 26Th Annual Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF) 2015 Annual Conference & Trade Show (July 28-30) is just around the corner, and I am excited to once again be representing PlayMaker CRM as an exhibitor. We have been a part of this conference for many years, and I’m always impressed with how the HCAF stays at the forefront of trends impacting our industry, which in turn allows them to provide valuable information to members and attendees. While all the sessions look great this year, I want to highlight a few key programs and events for you to consider to get the most out of your time in Orlando.
