Education and Training

In case you haven’t heard, ASHE Annual 2021 Conference Is Moving to Nashville and Includes a Virtual Option.  

ASHE will be relocating its Annual Conference to Nashville and shifting the dates to August 8-11. In addition, we are including a virtual component September 15-17, for those who may be unable to travel and for those who wish to view additional exclusive content.  

 Each year, the ASHE Annual Conference brings together health care facilities professionals to learn about new developments in the field, network with others and find solutions to their challenges. Instead of holding the conference in California August 1-4, ASHE will hold the event in Nashville August 8-11 and will add a virtual option. These changes will enable ASHE to provide the best possible experience for our attendees, exhibitors and sponsors.  

 The 2021 ASHE Annual Conference is your opportunity to:  

  • Earn continuing education credits in-person and/or virtually and use them towards Certified Healthcare Facility Manager (CHFM) and Certified Healthcare Constructor (CHC) renewal. 
  • Connect with other leaders and solution providers in health care facility management through innovative networking opportunities. 
  • Participate in sessions covering topics related to codes and compliance, sustainability and efficiency, infection prevention and more.  
  • Attend in-person and add on the virtual component for only $99.  

Registration information will be available in May. Sign up here to be notified when registration opens. 
 
We look forward to seeing you and are confident that we can deliver an exceptional conference, filled with quality content and networking opportunities, while following the CDC guidelines to ensure everyone is safe. Stay tuned for additional information around our safety plan in Nashville.
