IN FALL SWING
As summer winds down, Healthcare Design is
winding up in preparation for the 2023 HCD
Conference By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis
AS NIGHTFALL COMES a little bit earlier each day, the air
feels a touch cooler each morning, and the start of school
creeps closer and closer, I'm finding myself already
mourning the loss of summer-at least on a personal
level. Professionally, however, I am all in on fall.
We here at Healthcare Design are in the thick of
planning as we prepare for the 2023 Healthcare
Design Conference + Expo taking place Nov. 4-7 in
New Orleans. And I'm excited to give you a taste of what
we have planned here in our preview issue. On page 11,
you'll fi nd a quick roundup of details to get you started
plotting out how you'll spend your time in The Big Easy. Next, I encourage you to
head to hcdexpo.com to dive into all the specifi cs.
We pride ourselves on creating an event that meets all your needs in one place-
from networking to exploring new design products to fulfilling your ongoing
education requirements. And, yes, I realize I can't exactly be considered objective,
but our conference program truly can't be beat. In a robust 100+ sessions,
you'll fi nd myriad topics explored that represent where we are as an industry and
where we're heading next. Critical topics such as resiliency and sustainability; diversity,
equity, and inclusion; artifi cial intelligence and big data are all in there.
And so are all the specialties you represent; we work hard to ensure those topics
and others are tackled through diverse perspectives, thanks to our 400+ speakers
including architects, interior designers, owners/providers, building professionals,
researchers, consultants, and so on. In fact, you'll fi nd numerous sessions off ering
multidisciplinary panels, and that's on purpose. Our program design team assesses
session proposals based on factors such as providing broad views on critical
topics that are relevant to our attendee base and that off er valuable takeaways that
are applicable to your work.
We help guide that, too. Executive Editor Anne DiNardo and I both participate
in the review of session proposals, ensuring that our editorial 30,000-foot
view of the industry-the trends that emerge each day as we cover the world
of healthcare design-are represented and explored. From there, we keep
the momentum going, thanks to our comprehensive approach to serving you
across our HCD brand channels.
For example, in addition to the big-picture preview coverage in this issue, you'll
also find our In Focus column on page 39 diving into the critical topic of rural
healthcare and the facilities that support it, which the author will be discussing
in a session at the 2023 HCD Conference. And you can expect lots more coverage
like this in coming months. Watch the magazine as well as our website and social
media for ongoing session previews, Q+As with speakers, facility tour profiles,
and more.
Meanwhile, our team can't wait to see you in November to talk more about what
you're up to as we start planning how to bring you the resources you need next year
and beyond. 
