Healthcare Estates, the annual event for healthcare engineering and estates and facilities professionals, returns to Manchester Central from 10 to 11th October 2023.
Healthcare Estates, Manchester Central
Comprising the IHEEM Conference, an extensive trade exhibition and the prestigious IHEEM Awards and annual dinner, the event brings together thousands of professionals and organisations from across the sector and acts as a hub for personal development and relationship building, as well as a place where buyers and specifiers can efficiently connect with suppliers for their current and future requirements.
Visitor feedback from last year’s event has been acted on and attendees can look forward to having more space for networking, relaxing and eating, plus more breakout space and room to circulate and enjoy everything on offer across the two days.
Tickets for the conference and exhibition, and for the annual dinner, are available from the event website – www.healthcare-estates.com. There is a choice of attendance options including a free-of-charge exhibition visitor ticket.
