Healthcare Estates, the flagship annual event of the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM), returns on 21–22 October, and event registrations, Awards entries and Awards Dinner bookings are all open now.
In a time of great change and uncertainty for the healthcare sector, Healthcare Estates will once again provide a vital forum for navigating the changing landscape. It will give access to updates from top leaders, and the crucial opportunity to gain new perspectives by sharing knowledge and experience with peers in similar roles.
The overarching theme for Healthcare Estates 2025 is “Prevention Is Better Than Cure”, reflecting the critical role of sharing and identifying lessons learnt from past experiences to foster improvement and avoiding repeated organisational mistakes.
This year’s programme themes are:
Conference Programme (available to Conference Delegates)
Exhibition Theatre Programme (available to all attendees)
Conference Discounts for early bookers and exhibition entry remains free
IHEEM is encouraging attendees to ring-fence the time to attend Healthcare Estates by booking their place early. Conference delegates who book by 2 May will save up to 20% compared to the standard rate.
Conference Passes include access to everything in the Conference Programme, Keynote Programme, and Exhibition, plus a variety of on-site benefits.
Exhibition-only Visitor passes are free of charge and include access to Keynotes, Exhibition Theatre presentations and the sector-leading Exhibition of products, equipment and services.
Exhibitor Opportunities
Exhibiting at Healthcare Estates gives you the opportunity to interact directly with high-level NHS EFM professionals, from whom you can gather vital insights on their requirements and what you need to be doing to win NHS contracts.
The floorplan is filling up fast, but there are still opportunities for companies to get involved and showcase their products and services to the UK’s largest gathering of healthcare engineering and estates & facilities professionals. Exhibiting is an excellent value way to build brand awareness, gather feedback, and learn about industry trends, ultimately boosting sales and market presence.
