ATLANTA — The Healthcare Convention and Exhibitors Association (HCEA) 2007 Annual Meeting, to be held June 9–12 in Philadelphia, will bear the theme “Discover the Keys to Success.”  The logo and theme for the HCEA Annual Meeting were developed by Art Guild, Inc., Thorofare, N.J.  Both were selected by vote of HCEA’s Annual Meeting Committee from among 39 entries.

The logo features an artistic rendering of a stethoscope-shaped kite holding a brass key.  Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite and lightning storm experiment is credited with many things, one being the invention of the lightning rod, an essential device now used around the world. The theme and logo for the 2007 HCEA Annual Meeting represent the discovery of other essential opportunities that attendees will experience while taking part in the highly rated education, exhibition and industry networking offered.

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.
