The Iowa Health Information Management Association invites you to join us at the 2012 Annual IaHIMA Meeting on April 17th and April 18th.

It is the largest meeting of our association, consisting of over 600 health information management professionals. Vendor exhibits will be held simultaneously with the meeting on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm and on Wednesday, April 18 from 9:30 to 1:30 pm. The displays may be set up on Tuesday beginning at 8:00 am and dismantled on Wednesday after 1:30 pm. Hotel accommodations may be made at 1-800-325-9015. Prairie Meadows Hotel will be completed before our 2012 meeting. Reservations should be made by March 15, 2012 to receive the discounted room rate.

Our conference goals are to provide members educational development with an opportunity for professional networking. It is a great opportunity for vendors to market their products to people who are directly involved in purchasing health information products and services in a variety of settings. Personnel from hospitals, physician practices, long-term care facilities, insurance companies, and other health related organizations will be present.

We invite you to sponsor a booth. In addition, an event, refreshment, or speaker may be sponsored through the Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsorship program. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in supporting our conference. Sponsors will be recognized during our meetings, in our program handouts, and in the exhibitor’s directory. We plan to include a “Vendor Showcase” segment on Tuesday that will allow our attendees dedicated time to visit with vendors and hold a “Vendor Door Prize” segment on Wednesday.

Booth Fees:

  • 1st Booth - $350 per day or $500 for both days

  • 2nd Booth - $175 per day or $250 for both days

  • Non-Profit Organizations - $150 for both days

Booth Specifications:

All booths include an 8’ wide x 6’ deep space with one 6’ table, two chairs, an 8’ drape, 3’ side drapes, one sign with your company name, and one 110 volt electrical box (two outlets). There will be more room for booths this year!  There is a room available this year which is more quiet and private to discuss your products with prospective clients.

Door Prizes:

Exhibitors are encouraged to promote foot traffic through having a door prize. Exhibitors are responsible for their own prize sign-up. The door prize drawing will be held during the Vendor Showcase session on Wednesday. Donating companies will be recognized in the program. If you are unable to exhibit, but would like to provide a door prize or contribute to the cost of our annual meeting with a donation of $30.00 or more, we will recognize you during the door prize drawing portion of the meeting and include your company in our recognition list.

We hope that you will be able to join us this year. The quality exhibits and demonstrations help make our annual conference a success.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you at our April meeting.

PS: This is the time of year when everyone is budgeting for their HIM departments. As a vendor you have to find a way to meet people in the market for your product. One way to accomplish this is to participate in the Annual IaHIMA Conference.

The conference is held inside the Prairie Meadows Hotel and Casino in Des Moines, IA.  This is the association’s largest conference. The annual meeting will be held in April.

If you would like to increase your sales and expose your products to Health Information Management patrons, perhaps you would help sponsor a night of entertainment for our members where you can socialize with HIM professionals. This will provide you with maximum exposure to customers who are using products like yours.  You will be recognized on our flyer and website as a sponsor.

I look forward to seeing you at the annual Iowa Health Information Management Association conference!
