ATLANTA — The Healthcare Convention and Exhibitors Association (HCEA) 2006 Annual Meeting, to be held June 24–27 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will bear the theme “An Ocean of Discovery.” The logo and theme for the HCEA Annual Meeting were developed by BGA Pharma Inc., Somerset, N.J. Both were selected by vote of HCEA’s Annual Meeting Committee from among 34 entries.

The logo features an artistic rendering of the sun over waves in the ocean. The theme and logo represent the opportunities attendees will discover while taking part in the education and industry networking offered at the 2006 HCEA Annual Meeting.

HCEA’s Annual Meeting is the only educational conference in North America each year that focuses solely on the unique needs of healthcare exhibit marketers.

HCEA is the only association solely dedicated to improving the effectiveness of all conventions, meetings and exhibitions for the healthcare industry. HCEA represents nearly 700 member organizations involved in healthcare exhibitions and conventions.
