In-App Lead Capture System
We have unlocked maximum lead-capturing potential for HCD exhibitors with our new, advanced lead retrieval system! This tool syncs with attendee badges via the HCD Connect mobile app for instant, hassle-free lead capture with real-time follow-up and unlimited access for your entire team*.
Every exhibiting company at HCD 2026 will be auto-enrolled in the lead-capture program, promptly after signing the booth contract—no additional purchase necessary! Click here to view the easy-to-read and printable user guide.
Please note that our previous lead retrieval system is no longer available. All leads will now need to be captured through the official HCD Connect app.
Exhibitor Badges
Exhibitor badges are for exhibiting company personnel only. The Contract Contact for each company will receive a registration invitation via email. If you have not received the link or have any questions, please contact Customer Success Manager, Elana Ben-Tor at [email protected].
Photography/Video Recording
Photography and video recording are NOT permitted in the exhibit hall except by the Official Show Photographer or an approved Exhibitor Appointed Photographer. Exhibitors and/or approved Exhibitor Appointed Contractors may photograph or record their own exhibits during show days ONLY. Photography or video recording of any area outside an exhibitor’s booth (including but not limited to Registration Areas, Keynote Sessions, Conference Sessions, and Meeting Rooms) is strictly prohibited.
However, you may request booth photography from PWP Studio, an approved vendor of HCD Conference + Expo.
PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to bring your own photographer, please complete and submit the online Photographer Approval Form found in the Exhibitor Hub. Keep in mind that members of the press must first receive permission from the exhibitor to photograph the exhibitor’s booth.

EvolveCon is the ONLY official housing partner for this event.
Beware of Housing Poachers!
Please be advised that EvolveCon is the only official HCD Conference + Expo housing partner. Booking with anyone other than our official housing partner can lead to canceled 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 us out of control of guaranteeing your reservation for the show.
EvolveCon has negotiated with top hotels to provide HCD Expo members with guaranteed lowest rates, and anyone else claiming to have lower rates is attempting to scam you.
Join us Oct. 17-20, 2026, in New Orleans for the ultimate healthcare design education, networking, and product-sourcing event!
