PHIMA is pleased to announce that our 81st Annual Conference is being held May 20-21, 2019 at The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center in State College, PA. This year’s theme is “Dream It. Wish It. Do It”. We are hoping you will join us!
First of all, for those of you who have exhibited at our Annual Conferences in the past and for those who have sponsored various events in the past, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. You have played a big part in the success that we have enjoyed over the years. I am looking forward to many more successful joint ventures in the future and the opportunity to see you.
We acknowledge the importance of the exhibit hall location and amount of time exhibitors have to meet and greet the 200+ attendees. There will be a number of events in the vendor area and other opportunities for vendors to interact with participants. A booth in the vendor area is not the only opportunity to get your information in front of the attendees. There are many sponsorship opportunities, such as student scholarships, lunches, breaks, speakers, neck wallets, prizes, and the conference app which all attendees will utilize throughout the conference. We are excited to be back in State College for this year’s event.
As an exhibitor, you do not want to miss out on the 2019 PHIMA Annual Conference opportunity. The PHIMA Board of Directors has voted to keep the prices the same as last year – there is NOT an increase in price in 2019.
DO YOU Want to save on the price of a booth in addition to year-long benefits? Consider joining PHIMA as a Corporate Member AND SAVE UP TO $1200.
We are looking forward to seeing you in May 2019 in State College and appreciate your support!
Margie Stackhouse, RHIA
President, PHIMA
