Submission Deadline

December 28, 2022

Proposals for sessions to be considered for presentation at HTU 2023 are being accepted online through Dec. 28, 2022. We invite you to speak with an internal SME at HealthTrust regarding your proposed idea BEFORE making your online submission as there may be particular approaches or subjects of interest or even topics to avoid. Contact education@htu.healthtrustpg.com to request a conversation.

Date & location | The 2023 HealthTrust University Conference will be held live in Las Vegas 

July 17‒19  |  Mandalay Bay Convention Center

Target Audience | Content that is targeted to multiple disciplines is strongly preferred. Programs are submitted for Continuing Education (CE) credits for Supply Chain, Pharmacy and/or Nursing disciplines. Certificates of participation are offered for Allied Health Professions and Healthcare Executives for sessions with applicable content.  

Who can present?  |  HTU welcomes proposals from all subject matter experts. However, on-contract suppliers should only submit proposals in partnership with a HealthTrust member presenter. Independent supplier submissions will not be considered for presentation. 

CHECKLIST  |  Items required by Dec. 28 with your proposal submission via this site:

  1. Profile/Contact Info & a complete 100-word Professional Biography for each presenter
  2. Compelling Session Title & Abstract Summary Paragraph describing the content 
  3. Three Learning Objectives illustrating the take-home value for attendees
  4. Gap Analysis (description of current & desired states)
  5. List of Evidenced-based Research and/or Industry Resources that will be consulted in developing your slide deck if your program is selected 

Note: The above items are due by the Dec. 28, 2022 deadline; PowerPoint slide decks are not due until June 2023, according to timeline below.

If your submission is selected, all first-time HTU presenters will be asked to attend a  best practices training session prior to creating your slide deck.

REQUIREMENTS & SELECTION PROCESS | Proposals will be reviewed ONLY if they:

  1. Are 100% complete by Dec. 28 deadline. NO section should say “more to come”/TBD as the response as a full submission is required for appropriate HealthTrust & CE provider review
  2. Are educational, not promotional, in nature
  3. Demonstrate real take-home value for members with scalable approaches. Consider: what checklists, tool kits or playbook type of content you can include for attendees that is replicable for facilities of all size?
  4. Incorporate new or innovative approaches 
  5. Contain up-to-date and relevant resources

Selection will be based upon the use of new and/or innovative methods, topic relevance, speaker qualifications, objectivity, practicality and take-home value for members. Final selections will be based on the best possible mix of topics and competencies for the varied audience that will be attending the conference. 

Program Length & Number of Presenters | All Education Sessions are 60 minutes in length to include presentation of content as well as live Q&A and polling to encourage audience interaction (via event mobile app). 

The maximum # of participants per session is 4. (1 Presenter, 2 Presenters, 3 Presenters or a Panel Session; with 1 Moderator & up to 3 Panelists or 4 Panelists and no Moderator).
