4. What will the weather be like on July 19-21?
July is typically a warm/humid month in Chicago with temperatures from the lower and mid 80s/low 60s. While it is generally hot outside, we recommend bringing a jacket for the meeting rooms, as the hotel temperature can fluctuate.
5. Who typically comes to this meeting?
The top financial management experts and consultants in the field of home care and hospice. Home care agencies send their CEO's and Chief Financial Officers. The meeting is a perennial favorite with many who return year after year because they have seen direct benefit going to increase their bottom line.
6. How many attendees typically come to this meeting?
The meeting is purposely kept small at about 500 people to allow for interaction among the attendees. This network is as valuable to many as the consultation with experts.
7. Do many people come early and bring their families?
Yes, the hotel has made the special rate available to NAHC members who come as early as July 16 or stay as late as July 24, but space is limited. Please book early as the demand for rooms will be high.
8. Which airline should I use?
Most major airlines serve Chicago's two main airports - O'Hare International and Midway. A list of them is found on page 25. The best fares are available on the internet. Obviously, it pays to make your reservations early.
9. Is there a home care and hospice expo in conjunction with this meeting?
Yes. You will have the opportunity to evaluate a wide array of products and services and meet face-to-face with the representatives who distribute them. This is NAHC's second largest Home Care & Hospice Expo - second only to the NAHC Annual Meeting to be held in Baltimore, MD on October 15-18, 2006.
10. What is the registration fee for the three day conference?
It is $875 with discounts up to $325 for NAHC members. In addition, the earlier you register, the more you will save. The registration is very modest compared with other meetings which charge $995 or more. Moreover, attendees receive an excellent return for their investment.
