Prospectus
30th Annual Forum
Clinical End-of-Life Conference
May 21 & 22, 2015
Hilton Orlando
Orlando, Florida
Forum 2015 is your canvas, be inspired.
More than 350 hospice leaders, including Florida Hospice & Palliative Care Association (FHPCA)
board members, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and finance professionals from around the state
and throughout the region will be in attendance.
These professionals are responsible for treating upwards of 100,000 patients each year and work for
some of the largest hospices in the country.
FHPCA Provider Members are
Different:
• Some of largest hospice programs in the country are members of FHPCA
• Average Daily Census range from 20 – 1,500
• Innovative programs with varying needs
• All provide some kind of ancillary service for patients and families
Exhibiting at Forum means you can reach
key leaders and hundreds of clinicians in end-of-life care.
What past attendees have said about Forum:
“This was a wonderful conference! I really enjoyed
the speakers, the modules, and networking
with local and other vendors.”
“I had a great time, and actually enjoyed this more
than I enjoyed the National Conference that was
held in Orlando two years ago. Thank you.”
“This conference was relevant, interesting, and
informative. I brought home a LOT of information
that I can put into practice right away!”
“This was my first Forum and I am excited to
attend again next year even if I have to
pay for it myself.”
Bring Your Brand Into The Foreground
Network with Florida Leaders
Forum begins with an exclusive reception for our exhibitors and sponsors with the
executive leaders from Florida’s hospices. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a name
for yourself and your company. These leaders will be on the show floor the next
morning, which is a great opportunity to follow up and make your first impression last.
Put Your Products or Service in the Hands of Users
More than 350 clinicians and practitioners will be walking the show floor during
FHPCA’s two-day Forum. Think of creative ways to demonstrate what makes your
company the best and prove it to the people who put your expertise to use in the
field.
Leave a Lasting Impression
Make sure that attendees remember you long after they leave your booth. Sponsor
one of our awards so they associate your brand with excellence or put your logo on
our conference materials so attendees will remember you every time they drink from
their water bottle or reference their handouts.

Exhibit Hall
Planned to Maximize Your Exposure Again and Again
The exhibit space is located at the heart of Forum, with breaks, sessions and social events happening on or
adjacent to the show floor. Conference breaks are similar to the office water cooler; attendees congregate to meet
and chat over refreshments. You can join in these conversations and make connections. We scatter these “water
cooler sessions” around the floor to draw attendees around the room and close to your booth. This trade show
isn’t tucked in a far-off corner, but rather central to key events happening throughout the day.
