Build Your Network and Career at Congress

With more than 25 networking events scheduled, this year’s Congress on Healthcare Leadership provides the ideal environment for developing meaningful and long-lasting connections.

For example, the always popular Networking Roundtable Breakfasts, Wednesday, March 25, are perfect for meeting peers. This year, two new groups, Executives-in-Residence/Program Directors and Administrative Fellows, offer even more collaboration opportunities. Meanwhile, numerous receptions provide ample time to glean insights from leaders in every part of the healthcare field. Attendance at the Monday or Wednesday Congress Networking Reception is included in your registration fee.

Congress offers special sessions specifically designed to meet the needs of Student Associates, such as “Explore Healthcare Careers,” which offers an encore to last year’s event where students seeking careers in healthcare can join a panel of experts to discuss a variety of career opportunities. Or, “Postgraduate Fellowship Career-Focused Networking,” which offers an encore to last year’s event where representatives from more than 35 post-graduate fellowships were onsite to meet with students in a job fair format. All in all, Student Associates have more than 20 education and networking opportunities available to them. 

Explore all of the Congress networking opportunities by visiting the Networking section of ache.org/Congress, and read more about the value of networking in one of ACHE’s blog posts.
