EventSphere is the ONLY official housing provider for this event.
Beware of Housing Poachers!
In light of recent events, we wanted to take the time to reach out and affirm that EventSphere is the only official housing provider for the HCD Conference + Expo. If you are approached by someone representing any entity besides EventSphere, please alert EventSphere by emailing hcd@eventsphere.com. Booking with anyone other than EventSphere can lead to cancelled reservations, inflated rates charged to your credit card, and the inability to recoup any charges drawn.
The only entities that should be charging your cards are the official HCD Expo hotels – not these providers. Please know that booking with them leaves EventSphere out of control of guaranteeing your reservation for the show.
EventSphere has negotiated with top San Antonio hotels to provide HCD Expo members with guaranteed lowest rates – and anyone else claiming to have rates lower are attempting to scam you.
Questions? Contact EventSphere at hcd@eventsphere.com.
The Healthcare Design Conference + Expo is an annual conference focused exclusively on the design of hospital and clinic environments. The educational program is driven by industry experts who share case studies, research, best practices, and new approaches throughout the three-day learning experience.
To create the annual program, a call for presentations is opened, with submissions selected via a rigorous review process. All conference sessions must qualify for continuing education units, with four distinct learning objectives and one hour of content delivered.
The Center for Health Design is HCD's educational partner for the conference and manages the call for presentation process. Follow the link below to view the form on The Center’s website and submit a presentation proposal.
Top-of-mind topics for sessions include but are not limited to: patient safety and satisfaction, ambulatory care, remodeling, renovation and conversions, impact of technology, clinical perspectives, the high-performance hospital and sustainable practices, design for wellness, innovations in facility planning and management, design challenges and solutions, specialty facilities and departments (i.e., oncology, pediatrics, behavioral health, OR, ED), strategies for financing and operations, international trends and practices, and projects and initiatives that advance equality and social justice.
