The NCHEA Annual Conference—the premier annual gathering for healthcare facility professionals in North Carolina and the only dedicated trade show and exhibition of its kind for vendors and industry partners serving this market.

This event uniquely brings together education, networking, regulatory insight, and innovation under one roof. It’s the single opportunity each year where healthcare facility decision-makers connect directly with the companies, solutions, and experts driving the future of healthcare engineering and facilities management across the state.

Why Attend

This is the one conference worth fighting for.

Attendees earn valuable continuing education credits, work toward professional credentials, and stay current on state and national regulatory updates, maintenance practices, and healthcare construction standards. You’ll hear directly from industry leaders, learn alongside peers facing the same daily challenges, and leave equipped with practical tools to better protect patients, staff, and facilities.

Beyond education, the conference expo showcases leading companies and emerging technologies that are shaping the future of safe, compliant, and high-performing healthcare facilities. The event is made possible by dedicated sponsors who are investing not just in business opportunities, but in the healthcare engineering profession itself.
