Reconnect at the Art & Dinner Soirée

Immerse yourself in art, history and culture at the 2023 Art & Dinner Soirée as part of your experience at the 13th Annual Home Care & Hospice Conference and Trade Show. This year the traditional networking dinner will be hosted at the Currier Museum of Art on May 3, in Manchester NH.

After a full day of conference sessions, relax and gather with fellow attendees and their guests for a cocktail, explore the galleries, and share a meal. The entire museum has been reserved for our event. Museum docents will be available for group tours, or you may explore the exhibits on your own.

Join us for this evening activity for exhibitors, attendees, and their guests. Event tickets include museum admission as well as the catered dinner. A cash bar will also be available.

“We had to cancel the event for the last few years,” says Jake Krilovich, Executive Director at the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts. “Our team is excited to present a special version of the networking dinner event for 2023.”

Don’t miss this chance to reconnect with friends and colleagues from around the region, reflect on the services you provide and revitalize the passion for the work you do every day. After we have explored the exhibits, we will progress to the Winter Garden atrium for a buffet-style networking dinner that will include local favorites as well as new and seasonal options to satisfy all our guests.

2023 NEHCC Call For Speakers:

Deadline to submit has been EXTENDED

Need a bit more time? Well, that’s fair

We’ve got a great pool of talks already awaiting review, but we want to have yours too! The new deadline is November 22, 2022– but this one is a hard deadline, since we’re going to need some time to read through these wonderful submissions and make those hard decisions.

What happens next?

What a great question!

After November 22, we’ll start the process of selecting talks and setting a schedule. We’ll first rank the talks using anonymized information about the submissions focusing on the content alone. That doesn’t finish the selection process, however. Choosing on content alone might leave us with three talks by the same person, or with poor representation from some aspects of our diverse community. After we’ve selected our first set of talks, we’ll do a second pass to intentionally shape a varied and representative group of speakers. The process takes time. We appreciate your patience.

Our goal is to contact every applicant during the last week of January 2023 to let you know one way or the other.

What are you waiting for?

Don’t wait until the last minute, unless that’s something that works well for you. (Fellow procrastinators of the world, unite!)

Submit Your Proposal

The Call for Speakers for the New England Home Care and Hospice Conference and Trade Show has been extended! The NEHCC committee welcomes Speaker Presentation applications from a diverse audience of home health and healthcare experts. The 2023 conference is being held from May 2-4, 2023 at the DoubleTree in Manchester, NH!

Proposals will be accepted until November 22, 2022.

Submit Your Proposal

Who can submit?

Anyone and everyone is welcome to submit a speaking proposal! We love to hear from staff at agencies, consultants, and vendors alike!
