ATLANTA - The Healthcare Convention and Exhibitor Association's (HCEA's) 2004 Annual Meeting, to be held June 12-15 in Austin, Tex., will carry the theme "Bright Stars in the Lone Star." The theme and accompanying logo were developed by MedLearning, Inc., Hasbrouck Heights, N.J., and were selected in a contest by HCEA's Annual Meeting Committee from among 58 entries.

The logo features an outline of the state of Texas decorated with details from the Texas state flag. The theme and logo represent the stellar educational and networking opportunities attendees will find at the 2004 HCEA Annual Meeting.
