CONVENTION TIPS FROM YOUR THCA REGION CHAIRS:

THCA Convention Advanced Registration has ended, but if you haven’t pre-registered, you can still register on-line with the on-site registration price to help shorten your on-site registration process.

Also, don’t forget to create your Personal Convention Itinerary to ensure you attend all of the great sessions and networking events scheduled.

  1. Provider Attendee Registration Site: (THCA Discount Housing information provided when registration has been submitted)
  2. Convention Schedule & Session Descriptions: Make note of the sessions you are most interested in and place on your personal itinerary – it’ll be hard because they are all EXCELLENT!
  3. THCAPAC Golf Tournament: Support your Political Action Committee, and register to play in the THCA Golf Tournament on Monday, September 21st at Cowboys Golf Club! Registration is a personal political contribution to THCAPAC and therefore is separate from convention registration. Note: Registration contribution must be paid by personal dollars.
  4. Ensure these items are on your personal itinerary:

Monday Night: Welcome Reception, 6:30 – 8:30pm – A great place to re-connect with colleagues and make new friends!

Tuesday Morning: THCA Administrators Council Breakfast, 7-8:15am – breakfast with your fellow THCA Member Nursing and Assisted Living Administrators

Tuesday Afternoon: Trade Show, 4-7pm – Business Members share their latest and greatest services & products to help you operate your facility as effectively as possible. Bring plenty of business cards to participate in Tuesday’s Exhibitor Drawings!

(Note: D.O.N. of the Year; Regional Nurse of the Year & Nurse Scholarships will be presented during the Nurses Day Award Luncheon on Wednesday)

Tuesday Night: THCA 65th Anniversary Celebration, 7-10pm – Live Music by “The Emerald City Band”, THCA Sapphire Lounge and Casino Style Gaming! Win Prizes provided by our Fabulous Exhibitors!
