Invitation-only advocacy event with no exhibit hall. Attendees meet with Members of Congress -- there is no trade show component. Cannot exhibit here.

NOT an exhibitable event. HIDA Washington Summit is a policy advocacy trip for healthcare distribution executives. If a client asks about exhibiting at HIDA, point them to HIDA Streamlining Healthcare Expo instead.
