Registration Kick-Off for OAMES 38th Annual Meeting & Exhibition!
Room Block Extended to Sept. 28!
OAMES proudly presents its 38th Annual Meeting &Exhibition, the association’s premier educational event, that brings together the leaders of Ohio’s HME provider community for a two-day engagement of learning and networking with industry experts and top vendors.
This year’s theme “Find Your Phone Booth” speaks to the power of strength through knowledge! Jump in our “phone booth” and find your superpowers not just to survive, but thrive, in today’s HME market. At the conference, you won’t just sit in the classroom and hear about the same old topics. We bring you tons of networking opportunities and sessions led by powerful industry professionals on today’s cutting-edge issues that will help you gain the competitive edge and insight for successful decisions in 2019. In other words, achieve an immediate return on your investment.
We’ll be hosting this year’s event at The Grand Event Center in Columbus on Oct. 23-24 and registration is now open! 2019 promises to be a pivotal year in the HME business with Medicare changes coming in January after a decade of the bidding program, possible developments in the Medicaid managed care program and a new Governor that could be a game-changer for Ohio’s citizens and businesses.
