What to expect at Kansas Hospital Association - KHA

Healthcare shows combine education sessions with an exhibit hall, so traffic peaks in the breaks between sessions. Visitors are time-poor and careful, and any product claim will be questioned against evidence and regulation.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be clinicians and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for Kansas Hospital Association - KHA

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, September 16, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (May 27, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels in Overland Park while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Jul 22, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Aug 19, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (Sep 9, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for healthcare shows

• Check the show's rules on product claims, samples and promotional items before you print anything.
• Bring evidence in a format a clinician can scan in a minute: outcomes, studies or a one-page summary.
• Plan staffing around the session schedule so your strongest people are at the booth during breaks.

Booth tips for Kansas Hospital Association - KHA

• Keep conversations short and specific; many visitors only have a few minutes between sessions.
• Offer a quiet corner for longer conversations with administrators or buyers.
• Never ask visitors to share patient information. Collect only professional contact details.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
