Healthcare Design’s annual HCD Conference +Expo was a huge success at the healthcare design industry headed to Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 25-28.
The four-day event featured keynote and educational sessions, facility tours, networking events—and the event’s largest expo hall to date (again!).
Additional highlights included the annual Nightingale Awards for exhibitor products at the show; an inspiring Magazine Awards Luncheon honoring the HCD 2025 Rising Star and HCD 10 awards along with Design Showcase and Remodel/Renovation winners; as well as the presentation of the inaugural Walter B. Jones, Jr., FAIA Excellence Award for Aspiring Healthcare Architects to Dana Goodridge of Howard University and Juliet Oluyale of Ball State University.
Coverage of the conference will be featured in Healthcare Design’s upcoming November/December issue.
For now, enjoy a few highlights from this year’s event including a slideshow of images (above).
And mark your calendars for the 2026 conference in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Oct. 17-20, 2026. For more information, visit www.hcdexpo.com.
