 About HCA The Healthcare Congress Alliance (HCA) was started in 1997 by three associations involved in international healthcare congresses: the Healthcare Convention & Exhibitors Association (HCEA), the International Association of Professional Congress Organizers (IAPCO) and the International Pharmaceutical Congress Advisory Association (IPCAA). Each of these organizations realized the need for dialogue between the various parties involved in conducting international healthcare congresses: industry (exhibitors), PCOs, medical associations, and others. As a result, the HCA began holding regular meetings to discuss issues in the global healthcare congress industry, work toward solutions, and develop materials, documents and other guidances to assist those involved in healthcare congresses to conduct them more cost-effectively, professionally and efficiently. These documents may be found by clicking on the "HCA Documents" link at the right. If you have questions or comments about the HCA and/or its activities, feel free to direct them to any of the constituent organizations listed on the home page. If you are currently involved, or plan to be involved, in organizing a medical congress (e.g., a medical association head, on medical association congress planning committee), and would like to learn more about the HCA's efforts, we welcome your inquiry. Please Email or phone any of the constituent organizations to learn more. |
