Why Attend?

The ACE Summit and Reverse Expo

The ACE Summit is the industry’s leading healthcare capital investment conference, bringing together healthcare and GPO executives, PDC firm leaders, and suppliers in the areas of capital planning, design, architecture, construction, and facilities. With an open and collaborative agenda and a common goal of improving the delivery of care at healthcare facilities across the country, the ACE Summit provides a unique forum for senior healthcare executives to network and engage their peers on issues facing the healthcare industry.

NEW for 2021: Although we wish we were gathering in sunny Orlando, FL this year, we are excited to launch the ACE Summit Virtual Experience. This fully virtual experience offers the same high quality educational program, along with new virtual networking opportunities, from the comfort of your home or office. 

Education

The ACE Summit’s educational opportunities feature a wide array of topics and a mix of CE-accredited and peer-led sessions. Focusing on the most pressing issues facing healthcare capital investments across the areas of architecture, construction, capital equipment, facilities, and design, this interdisciplinary approach results in a diverse educational program that cannot be found elsewhere in the industry.
