Helping Hands Project, 10:00 a.m. – noon, Concourse near Registration
On Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to noon, lend a hand and take a moment to help create friendship bracelet kits and superhero masks for pediatric patients and their siblings staying at Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth.

After Sunday, visit Fidelity in booth 312 in the exhibit hall to write a note of encouragement.

The ASHHRA24 Exhibit Hall is a great resource throughout the conference! Plan ahead: Monday hours will be 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday hours will be 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Lunch will take place in the Exhibit Hall both days. And be sure to show exhibitors your appreciation by coming back on Monday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 for the Exhibit Hall Happy Hour: Cows, Cocktails and Cowboy Hats! You won't want to miss this opportunity for a cocktail, a photo opportunity with some adorable mini-Highland cows, and to decorate your own cowboy hat!
Featuring 100-plus prominent companies in healthcare HR offering innovative information and strategies, the exhibitors play a pivotal role in the success of the conference. Thank them by visiting their booths and learning about what they have to offer. Participate in the Search for Solutions by visiting the participating exhibitors and entering to win dozens of great prizes. The Search for Solutions brochure can be found in your Welcome Bag.
Don't miss the Exhibit Hall's Rapid Fire Sessions in the Education Theatre (behind aisle 800), which are short educational sessions for attendees to learn about innovative solution-based services or products and earn CEUs. After each session, connect with the speaker at their respective company booth to learn more.
New this year: Be sure to pack a book to share at the conference as part of the ASHHRA24 Book Exchange. The idea is simple: Bring a book/Take a book. Bring a book (or several) to the conference to give away. Drop it off at the Book Exchange table in the exhibit hall and peruse through the books your fellow attendees brought to share. All of the books are FREE for the taking, so you and your fellow attendees can spread the knowledge of shared literature. You can also leave a note inside your giveaway book for the next person who reads it!
Get your photos delivered right to you in your own private gallery! The event photographer will be taking photos throughout the conference, and you just might be in them! If you’d like to receive photos captured of YOU, simply scan the QR code on page 4 of the On-site Program to sign up.
