2009 Leadership Conference Prospectus

Each year, more than 400 Texas Hospital Association members gather to exchange ideas on pertinent health care issues, receive state and federal legislative updates and see old and new friends from hospitals and health systems across Texas. Responding to the needs of our members, exhibitors and sponsors has caused the Leadership Conference to evolve and grow over the years, and 2009 is no exception. Previously held each fall, the Leadership Conference moved to Jan. 21-22, 2009, to coincide with the Texas legislative session. The event begins at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Austin, and ends a few blocks away at the Texas State Capitol—across the street from Texas Hospital Association’s new offices.

We know that exhibiting at or sponsoring an event is an important choice, and your participation in the 2009 THA Leadership Conference will prove to be a valuable investment. Simply by being there, you position yourself as a leader in the industry and raise awareness of your brand in the marketplace. Opportunities to promote a product or service, generate leads or increase your bottom line are well within reach.

If you are joining us again as an exhibitor and/or sponsor, thank you for your continued support. Your efforts enable the Texas Hospital Association to provide advocacy and education that keep Texas hospitals alive and well! If you are joining us for the first time, I look forward to meeting you and to helping you maximize your return this year and in the years to come.
