Offer the Solutions Our Members Need to Succeed
As a vital extension of the educational programming of the conference, the exhibit hall provides opportunities for attendees to update their knowledge of the latest technologies, discover new solutions to immediate and long-range business needs, explore emerging industry trends, and develop valuable resources and partnerships. Participation as an exhibitor illustrates how your company’s products and services are aligned with the vision and objectives of our members.
NEW—Reverse Trade Show

At the Reverse Trade Show, exhibitors will have the unique opportunity to meet with representatives from our Field Services, Client Services, Contracting, and Marketing teams to explore new business opportunities, exchange information, and expand working relationships. The Reverse Trade Show will take place Monday, October 9, 3:30 – 5:00 p.m.
More Than Just a Tradeshow
When it comes to the exhibitor experience, the Innovatix + Essensa National Meeting & Expo is truly unique. That’s because we know that business relationships cannot be established exclusively on the trade show floor.

Exhibitors may participate in our off-site networking event, our educational sessions, and our member appreciation celebration. Check back here for the full agenda as the meeting draws closer.
We give exhibitors full participation because it’s important that our suppliers understand our members and their business challenges, patient populations, and industry initiatives. You’re unlikely to get an opportunity like this at any other GPO conference.
When making your travel arrangements, please plan accordingly so you can participate in the whole meeting.

2016 Recap
This past October, we welcomed a record 700+ attendees to the New York Marriott Marquis for our largest National Meeting yet.
Welcome Addresses & Networking Event
Innovatix and Essensa Advisory Group members started the meeting with a breakfast talk by political strategist and pollster, Frank Luntz. Back for the second year in a row, Dr. Luntz engaged, informed, and entertained the crowd while providing analysis of the political landscape and its specific ramifications for healthcare.
The programming for all attendees kicked off later that day with a welcome from GNYHA Ventures President & Innovatix Chairman Lee H. Perlman, followed by a keynote address from Innovatix and Essensa President & CEO John P. Sganga. Mr. Perlman’s remarks focused on the elevation of the supply chain from a tactical to a strategic operational area across industries and how group purchasing can drive successful outcomes for both providers and suppliers as supply chain becomes even more crucial in today’s business and healthcare markets. Mr. Sganga then kicked off his address by welcoming attendees to our hometown (including some colorful New York City trivia) and presenting a timeline that highlighted the evolution of Innovatix and Essensa from a fledgling group purchasing organization with a handful of members and staff to flourishing companies that offer strategic procurement solutions and operational support to a combined national membership of over 48,000. Mr. Sganga also offered a vision for the future in which data, analytics, and technology (such as Innovatix and Essensa 24/7) further help members thrive.
After Mr. Perlman and Mr. Sganga concluded their remarks, attendees were treated to a conversation with our special guest—Emmy winner and Super Bowl Champion, Michael Strahan. Mr. Strahan entertained the crowd with anecdotes from his football and entertainment careers, and provided sage advice for finding fulfillment in both business and personal life based on his unique experiences.
The networking event, which was held that evening at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, provided an opportunity for members, suppliers, and staff to connect. The venue—as well as an appearance by heroic military veterans from one of our member facilities—provided inspiration for working together to overcome business challenges.
Educational Programming
This year’s meeting featured more than 20 educational programming sessions that were organized into three parallel tracks curated to meet the needs of all attendees: 1) clinical; 2) government affairs, regulatory issues, and alternate payment models; and 3) business operations and management. The clinical track included over 10 hours of accredited continuing education sessions for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, long-term care administrators, and healthcare executives.
All three tracks featured nationally renowned speakers who shared their expertise with attendees in settings that encouraged dialogue and participation. Prominent sessions included a sitting member of U.S. Congress discussing healthcare legislation, an expert in customer experience applying lessons from the hospitality industry to healthcare, an update on the current drug pipeline (including biosimilars), best practices in managing employees from different generations in the workplace, perspectives on new care models from a program director at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and more.
Exhibition Hall
This year’s meeting also featured our largest Exhibition Hall ever, with 110 exhibitors on hand to educate members about the value their products and services provide. Innovatix and Essensa staff provided a crucial link, personally facilitating conversations between exhibitors and members aimed at creating winning outcomes through purchasing. Exhibitors were thrilled with the steady stream of traffic and the level of attendee engagement. In addition, the exhibitors appreciated inclusion in the full program of events throughout the meeting, which increased their interaction with members, creating more opportunities for mutual success.
Thank you 2016 exhibitors.
