The Congress on Healthcare Leadership is ACHE's annual premier education and networking event, which gathers more than 7,000 leaders from the healthcare community.
Congress offers attendees countless opportunities to innovate, collaborate, grow and transform by having access to world-class thought leadership, insights and perspectives from a diverse array of interprofessional leaders on a variety of hot topics and industry trends.
Congress is designed around you—with an emphasis on giving you practical solutions to pressing issues, connecting you with peers and making the absolute most of your time.
Plus, with hundreds of expert-led education sessions, there are plenty of opportunities to earn continuing education credits (CEUs) to enhance your career objectives or earn FACHE® certification.
We are the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). For over 90 years, ACHE has been driven by—and devoted to—our community of 49,000 members. That means your success as a leader and commitment to improving healthcare in your communities is our focus.
