91st Annual Convention & Exhibit
September 14-18, 2019 (Exhibits September 15-17, 2019) | McCormick Place, Lakeside Center (Hall D) | Chicago, IL
As the most extensive exposition in the industry, the AHIMA Convention and Exhibit attracts decision makers and influencers in HIM and HIT. Last year in Miami Beach, over 2,700 registered attendees walked the exhibit floor looking for solutions in areas such as the electronic health record (EHR), clinical vocabularies and mapping, revenue cycle management, information governance, workflow, interoperability, transcription, and much more. These decision makers are looking for the solutions you can provide. The 2019 exhibitor prospectus (to be released in February of 2019) will include attendee profile information, current installation/dismantle schedule, and booth fees. Marketing, press, and sponsorship opportunities are exclusively available to all exhibitors, and are featured in the exhibit service manual, which is set to go live in May of 2019.
Exhibit space is $28/square foot, and payment deadlines are as follows:
Applications made prior to 12/31/18:
$1,000 deposit due upon reservation

Associate your organization's name with resources and events highly valued by AHIMA members and convention attendees. AHIMA and AHIMA Foundation sponsorship opportunities are designed to meet a range of corporate interests, advance the profession, and deliver business results. Featuring pricing from $1,000 to $50,000, sponsorship provides greater access to and visibility with a key buyer group, and demonstrates a commitment to the profession. In addition to strong marketing value, this investment can provide a way to stay current with key HIM trends, gain access to executive-level critical information, and garner opportunities to influence direction of industry issues.
