Our Take
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.
Insider Tips
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.
