Opportunity to Pitch Your Solution to Engaged Attendees
The AHA Hosted Buyer Forum is a curated marketplace of health buyers, influencers and solution providers designed to provide highly efficient, targeted connections. The forum is designed for senior executives and decision-makers to evaluate health solutions as potential partners for their organizations. Hosted Buyer is a stress-free way for buyers to learn, network, engage and assess a wide array of companies from across the ecosystem.
The solution providers will present a “pitch” to the buyers in a round-robin format followed by a networking engagement where AHA member participants will join solution provider representatives in round-table discussions. After the presentation both the solution providers and the buyers will have an opportunity to join our Networking Reception for beverages, appetizers and continued conversations.
Attendance at the AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference by business representatives is limited to AHA Associates and conference sponsors. If you would like to attend the conference as a member of the business community, we encourage you to become an AHA Associate or sponsor.
