The event is business casual. Phoenix temperatures are generally in the lower to mid 90’s in late September. Most events are indoors with the exception of golf, teambuilding and meal functions where you can have an option to enjoy the fresh air or stay inside.

If you are a senior executive of a healthcare system you will get strategic information you can use now to impact your healthcare system. You will hear case studies presented by your peers; panel discussions from thought leaders within the healthcare supply chain; presentations from industry experts; and the opportunity to network with your peers and supplier partners during special events and other times to develop important working relationships.

For suppliers, distributors and GPOs, you will get an unequaled opportunity to learn the challenges facing senior purchasing executives and how you can better partner with them to meet their goals. You will participate with senior executives of IDNs, healthcare systems, GPOs and other suppliers in conference sessions designed to foster peer learning with presentations and panel discussions from industry experts. You will participate in intensive conference sessions that will provide you key insights into selling products and services to healthcare systems and IDNs. As the originator of the reverse expo concept, the IDN Summit offers you the most efficient way to meet with hundreds of senior healthcare executives representing billions of dollars in healthcare expenditures – all at one time and in one location. See the IDN Summit guarantee for our assurance.

Unlike a traditional trade show the IDN Summit features healthcare purchase-decision makers (e.g. VP Supply Chain, Director of Materials Management) staffing booths hosting their GPO and supplier partners, providing a unique opportunity for all parties to effectively and efficiently use their time and resources. The IDN Summit concept is fostered on building a strong network of trusted partnerships to improve the healthcare supply chain. These collaborative partnerships play an integral role in assisting healthcare systems to deliver quality patient care while achieving bottom-line financial improvements. In addition, the IDN Summit offers great cost cutting opportunities for attending suppliers and GPOs by saving time and travel expenses compared to traveling to individual hospital and health systems.

You can start networking with health system executives promptly at 2:00 pm. The expo hall closes at 5:30 pm giving you a full 3 ½ hours of networking time with these important decision makers. If you are interested in taking advantage of pre-entrance into the exhibit hall at 1:30 pm, allowing you and your team an extra 30 minutes of valuable networking time with little to no lines, please contact Josh Morita or Tina Wenstrom about sponsorship opportunities. There are several opportunities for networking during the 2 1/2 days of the IDN Summit. From receptions to conference sessions to meal functions you can enjoy numerous networking opportunities.

The best thing is to make sure you talk with your contact person at Healthcare Business Media prior to the event. They can walk you through the entire event to make sure you have the best possible experience. For healthcare executives please contact Lisa Ponssa at 813.928.0414. For GPO and suppliers please contact Tina Wenstrom at 317.966.2456 or Josh Morita at 859.523.5701. We also offer a First Time Attendee Lunch on Tuesday, September 21st from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm to provide you an overview of the IDN Summit and answer your questions.
