More than 4,000 Expected
to Attend the 2015 Healthcare
Design Expo & Conference

The 2015 Healthcare Design Expo & Conference will be held
November 14-17, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
in Washington, D.C. The event is expected to attract more than 4,000
architects, designers, and related professionals focused on the healthcare
industry. Attendees will see the latest products for healthcare interiors,
and learn various facets of how the design of responsibly built
environments impact the safety, clinical outcomes, and financial
success of healthcare facilities.
The event offers 110 educational sessions, 25 interactive
sessions, 13 educational tracks, eight facility tours, four deep-dive
sessions, and four preconference clinics for the audience of architects,
interior designers, administrators, operations executives, contractors,
engineers, facility managers, medical planners, purchasing executives,
researchers, and educators. Attendees will also have the opportunity
to network with each other, and earn up to 23 continuing education
credits for participating in faculty tours, keynotes, deep-dive workshops,
educational breakout sessions, and roundtable discussion groups.
The 2015 Healthcare Design Expo & Conference keynote
speakers include Ken Schmidt, a brand visionary and former director
of communications strategy for Harley-Davidson Motor Company.
Schmidt has partnered with many of the world's most successful
brands, and he will share stories and insights on building a loyal
customer base, creating a passionately loyal corporate culture,
and developing inspiring and motivating leaders.
Other keynote speakers are Roger S. Ulrich, PhD, EDAC,
professor in the department of architecture and Centre for Healthcare
Architecture at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and
product designer Deborah Adler. Prior to launching her firm, Adler
Design, Adler partnered with Target to develop the ClearRx prescription
packaging system, which now makes it easier for millions of patients
to take their medications.
The conference will also include the award ceremony on the
morning of November 16 for the Nightingale Awards and the Healthcare
Environment Awards, both of which are co-sponsored by Contract
magazine and The Center for Health Design, in cooperation with
the Healthcare Design Expo & Conference. The Nightingale Awards
honor the best new products that are exhibited at the expo. All
of the winners of the Healthcare Environment Awards-which honor
healthcare interior architecture and design across a range of project
types-are featured in this issue, beginning on page 81.

Correction
In the September issue, on page 75 in the article, "Recreating L.A.," the firm that is affiliated
with the project Lunchbox was misidentified. HOK, not HLW, designed Lunchbox.
Sejal Sonani of HLW did not have a role in the design of Lunchbox.
