The partners in ISH North America have been working together to develop a new concept, tentatively called a “Combined Industry Conference,” that will ultimately provide a whole new educational and business experience for all attendees. The Conference will be held in conjunction with the table-top (conference booth) event that will now take place in odd-numbered years (opposite ISH North America in even-numbered years).
The Combined Industry Conference will provide its attendees, whether they're ASA members, or members of PHCC, RPA or any other affiliated association, with the opportunity to hand-pick the events they'd like to attend. The associations will work together, with the coordination of Messe Frankfurt (who produces ISH North America), to develop an agenda that includes top-notch keynote speakers, industry training programs, consolidated social programs, and other educational and networking sessions of interest to all. The Annual Meeting portions of each of the associations' programs will continue to be held separately.
