PALTC 2026
By Buzzbox Media · Last reviewed August 3, 2026
What is PALTC?
The only major conference focused on post-acute and long-term care medicine. If you sell EHR systems for SNFs, telehealth for nursing homes, wound care products, fall prevention technology, or infection control systems, PALTC concentrates the medical directors and attending physicians who specify products for the long-term care setting. The 50,000+ member community creates strong pre/post-show marketing reach.

Is PALTC worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The only major conference focused on post-acute and long-term care medicine. If you sell EHR systems for SNFs, telehealth for nursing homes, wound care products, fall prevention technology, or infection control systems, PALTC concentrates the medical directors and attending physicians who specify products for the long-term care setting. The 50,000+ member community creates strong pre/post-show marketing reach.
Why Skip
Small, niche conference. If your products are not specific to the post-acute/long-term care setting, there is no audience. The recent rebrand from AMDA to PALTmed may cause confusion. Pricing and exhibit details are not publicly available.
What should exhibitors know before PALTC?
The long-term care market is heavily influenced by medical directors who set protocols for entire facilities. PALTC is where those medical directors gather. The rebrand to PALTmed reflects the field's push toward a more medical/clinical identity. Anaheim Convention Center is accessible and affordable.
What is the Buzzbox Score for PALTC?
7.2 / 10 (Strong)
7.2 out of 10. A solid, dependable show for the right exhibitor. Carried by editorial value (8.1: solid exhibitor rationale, honest "who should skip" guidance, and the flagship / largest show in its niche). The lightest dimension is growth trajectory (7.0, mid-size with room to grow). The only major conference focused on post-acute and long-term care medicine.
How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Solid (7.4): 55% purchasing authority.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Solid (7.0): attendee purchasing-authority data published, and detailed attendee-composition notes.
Solid (7.7): society-run exhibits (in-house), non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and purpose-built convention venue.
Strong (8.1): solid exhibitor rationale, honest "who should skip" guidance, and the flagship / largest show in its niche.
Solid (7.0): mid-size with room to grow and uncertain future.

How does Buzzbox Media score PALTC?
PALTC carries a Buzzbox Score of 7.2 out of 10 (Strong), with one caveat on this record: cost efficiency is not scored, because PALTmed (formerly AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine) publishes no booth price we can link to, and the overall score was set before that figure was withdrawn. The factors still scored are audience quality, data transparency, exhibitor experience, editorial value, and growth trajectory. Each factor is scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band, and every conference in our index cleared a relevance bar to be listed, so 7.0 is the floor. On this record the highest is editorial value at 8.1 and the lowest is data transparency at 7.0.
