Valley Forge Casino Resort – King of Prussia, PA
November 13 & 14, 2012

Join the Pennsylvania Health Care Association (PHCA) and Center for Assisted Living Management (CALM) for the Annual Convention and Trade Expo at the recently renovated and expanded Valley Forge Casino Resort on Tuesday, November 13, and Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Last year’s trade show was our most successful yet and we expanded the options you liked the best.
Your participation in the trade show provides you with a cost–effective venue for face-to-face sales opportunities with your customers in Pennsylvania, and it also shows your support for the long term care community.
This year the exhibit hall will feature options, including:
- More attendees than ever before are expected with our reduced pricing structure and the casino location. We offer educational attendees a very cost-effective way to earn credits.
- NEW Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights will be free for you to entertain old and potential customers.
- Attendee list, with emails, will be sent to you three weeks prior to the show for you to contact prospective new clients and reach out to existing customers.
- Martini Bar, Tuesday evening will again feature a martini bar sponsored by Mobile X-Ray Imaging, Inc.; Brockie Pharmatech,: Diagnostic X-Ray Service, Inc.; and Physicians Mobile X-Ray, Inc. Also on Tuesday there will be a PHCA/CALM bar and hors d’oeuvre station open throughout the evening to keep attendees in the exhibit hall.
