Healthcare Supply Chain Association
No Lines... No Speed Dating...
All Heavy-Hitter C-Level Executives Meeting with You In-Person!
The Healthcare Supply Chain Association (HSCA) is a broad-based trade association that represents 16 group purchasing organizations, including for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, purchasing groups, associations, multi-hospital systems and healthcare provider alliances.
The mission of the Healthcare Supply Chain Association focuses on five key areas:
Advocacy: We work collaboratively with all legislative and regulatory authorities to ensure fair and efficient procurement practices in an open and competitive market within the health industry
Education: We provide educational opportunities designed to improve efficiencies in the purchase, sale and utilization of all goods and services within the health industry.
Ethics: We uphold the ethical conduct of business practices within the industry and the standards adopted by the Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative that are intended to strengthen the integrity of the health care supply chain.
Information: We enhance the awareness of our members' efforts to support the delivery of high-quality, cost effective health care.
Liaison: We promote meaningful dialogue between health industry organizations engaged in group purchasing and other industry entities on issues of mutual interest.
Preparing for the Future
As one of the nation's leading health care trade associations, HSCA strives to have a long-term, positive impact. All of our efforts are focused on realizing our vision for tomorrow. We envision a world in which:
- An open forum exists for the exchange and promotion of best practices in the non-labor cost side of health care and for the exploration of complex issues in health care cost control.
- Cost-efficient, high-quality health care is more widely available.
- Innovative approaches flourish, and standards of practice and excellence are maintained, in the health care products market.
- Free market dynamics for health care products are maintained.
- Beneficial and legally allowable cooperation is not disrupted by the proprietary interests of industry competitors.

By bringing providers and suppliers together through industry-specific conferences, including Hospital Pharmacy, Hospital O.R. & Surgery, Radiology & Imaging, and Hospital & Healthcare I.T. Each aspect of our conferences is designed to provide the optimum environment for networking and building relationships between providers and suppliers.
TESTIMONIALS
"I have attended every Health Connect Partners (hospital pharmacy) conference since fall of 2007 and must say that with each conference, I have found them to get better and better. In fact, I now recognize HCP conferences as my premier conference to network with my peers, obtain pertinent education, and be provided with cutting edge information on innovation needed for me to do my job. I also find value in the Reverse EXPO concept which is a tremendously efficient use of my time and energies. A special thanks to the efforts of the HCP leadership team for their ability to recognize DOP needs and for always putting on a great conference. Looking forward to the next one!"

Reverse Expo (Wikipedia 2010)
A Reverse Expo (reverse Tradeshow) is an industry exposition or conference where the "buyers" staff event booths and the "vendors" circulate and meet with buyers. This concept appears to be a growing trend in the exposition space as "buyers" seek to limit the length of time spent at an exposition and "vendors" seek to introduce their services/products in the most effective way.[citation needed]
Similar reverse expositions have been noted in the supply chain, healthcare, and food production industries.
Attendee Titles Include: Account Executive Business Development, Account Director Clinical Affairs &Pharmacy, Business Development Director Corporate Accounts, CEO Corporate Contracting, Chairman Customer Improvement, CFO Government Accounts, COO Government Relations, Director Health Systems, Healthcare Systems Director Healthcare, IDN Industry Standards, President Marketing, Relations Manager Quality & Patient Safety, Sales Manager Sales, Trade Executive Strategic Accounts, Vice President Supply Chain, Support Services, Trade Relations, Wholesale Relations
Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Expo"
A virtual tradeshow (sometimes called a virtual tradefair) is a type of virtual event run in an online environment, that goes live and stays live online for a limited period of time. It can be considered the online equivalent of a traditional tradeshow or exhibition, but exhibitors and visitors connect with one another via the Internet, regardless of geographic location, to exchange valuable information.
The structure of a typical virtual tradeshow often includes a virtual exhibition hall which users enter with specific permissions and capabilities[3]. Exhibitors can build virtual stands or booths to exhibit information related to their products or services, just as they would at a trade fair in a convention center; visitors view these virtual trade show displays in the exhibition hall. Users - both exhibitors and visitors - within the environment often create avatars as a visual representation of themselves.
Like their physical counterparts, virtual tradeshows may have other components such as a web conference, a web seminar ('webinar'), or other educational presentations. The virtual trade fair thus provides live interaction between users on several levels (one-to-one, one-to-few, one-to-many and many-to-many) and simultaneously. Detailed tracking mechanisms allow organisers to determine the flow of traffic in the virtual tradeshow. Although virtual tradeshows are usually conducted in specialised web environments, some have been organised and conducted in tightly controlled text based environments.
Virtual tradeshows and virtual reverse trade shows can be used for international tradeshows, business match-makers, procurement fairs, or product launches.[4] The experience also translates well for other applications such as virtual job fairs, virtual benefits fairs, online employee networks, distributor fairs, and venture capital fairs.
Providers of virtual event platforms have seen immense growth in the demand for their products partly attributable to the 2009-2010 recession driving cost-cutting approaches to business. According to a Champion Exposition Services study, one in four people planned to use a digital event platform in the association market. The study also found that 70% of "respondents are actively producing, considering or interested in pursuing virtual events."[5] However, many were not looking to replace physical events, but add on virtual components.
