What it is

HCD is a conference and trade show for healthcare design professionals, run by Emerald alongside Healthcare Design magazine. It pairs an education programme on healthcare planning, design and construction with an exhibit hall where suppliers demonstrate products and services for hospital and clinic environments.

What to plan for

• Education. The organiser lists more than 100 conference sessions, with tracks that have included evidence-based design research, behavioral health, technology and innovation, and clinical perspectives.
• Keynotes, panels and facility tours. Tours of healthcare facilities run alongside the sessions, together with association programmes and networking events.
• Continuing education. Attendees can earn CEUs from organisations including AIA, IDCEC and NIHD.
• Exhibiting and sponsorship. Exhibit and sponsorship inquiries go through the organiser's exhibitor pages; Carolina is named as presenting sponsor for 2027.
