Before You Attend: General Tips

• Save on registration:
  • Early Bird Pricing ends May 24, so register before then to save up to $215. 
  • Join ASHE to receive the member discount, up to $235 in savings. 
  • Register early to secure lower airline fares and use the Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference travel discounts on hotels, airline tickets and car rental. 
     
• Show your employer the value you will bring back to the organization as return on the investment.
  • Find tools for illustrating this below in our Justification Toolkit!
  • Give them a justification letter showing the expected ROI. 
  • If you are working to obtain or maintain your CHC/CHFM certification, remind your employer that this is a great way to earn CECs and is less expensive than registering for separate conferences that offer fewer credit hours.
  • Plan out who will handle your responsibilities while you are attending the conference. Make sure your employer knows that you will still be accessible while at the conference. 
  • Offer to deliver a short presentation or written report after the conference for your colleagues so that they will gain the benefits of your attendance, too.
