Real Experiences. Lasting Impact.

An absolutely amazing experience. I'm committed to being there every single year. I love Congress. I look forward to it. There's no better place to be than to be at Congress.
The ability to come to Congress and to take a variety of courses that span all of healthcare is really amazing.
You rub elbows with those individuals that are changing and shifting healthcare in our nation.
My favorite event throughout the year is definitely ACHE’s Congress on Healthcare leadership.
ACHE Congress each year really inspires you and reminds you of why you chose this healthcare journey, why you are in the position you're in, why we do what we do each day.
ACHE Congress is easily the premier learning and networking experience for our field and ACHE continues to elevate that experience each year.
This was the best conference I have attended in my career and I will definitely attend again!
I love attending Congress annually. This conference reinvigorates me and reminds me of the importance of consistency being around people who are like-minded and driven.
I want to say how impressed, thankful, and appreciative I was to be a part of this meeting. ACHE, its organization and staff put together an absolutely phenomenal meeting that made ALL feel welcome.
