FAQs

After careful consideration, we have decided there will be no Health Connect Partners physical event held this fall.
Instead, we are refocusing our fall conferences to be held virtually.

We realize that the need for connection in our healthcare communities has never been greater, even though being in the same physical place is not possible for most of us this year. We look forward to bringing Providers and Suppliers together in our new virtual conference format to learn, connect, and support each other.

Our 2020 Virtual Fall Hospital Supply Chain Conference will be held September 28^th – October 22^nd.  Virtual Reverse Expo sessions will be held October 13^th – 15^th and October 20^th – 22^nd daily from 8:00am – 5:00pm (CT).

We are excited to find new ways to foster those connections and we look forward to hosting you during this online event experience.

Please feel free to contact Dan Jewell: 727-877-6031 with questions.

What is required of provider attendees to attend the virtual conference?

Provider attendance is on an invitation-only basis, and we evaluate each potential attendee individually before extending an invitation.

For our virtual fall conference, we request Provider attendees to participate in 4 hours of Virtual Reverse Expo sessions which can be scheduled at the times most convenient for you.  That is the equivalent to the Reverse Expo sessions at our in-person conferences. The Supply Chain Virtual Reverse Expo sessions will be held October 13^th –15^th and October 20^th –22^nd between the hours of 8:00am – 5:00pm (CT).

Is CE credit available for the virtual educational sessions?

Yes, it is. Credit is assigned based on registration & logins for each educational session. Please be sure to register for each session to ensure you receive credit for the sessions you attend, as the CE agency requires registration as proof of attendance for each virtual session. After the conference, please allow 4-6 weeks for receipt of your CE certificate.
