We Can’t Wait to See You at AAMI Exchange 2021
June 4–7, 2021 | Charlotte, NC
In times of crisis, our communities are a needed source of strength, solidarity, and rejuvenation—only together can we pave the way forward. The AAMI community will come together again next June at AAMI Exchange 2021, an opportunity to connect with colleagues new and old, share stories of how healthcare technology is evolving, to power emerging innovations, and to refine our norms as an industry to adapt to a changing world.
AAMI Exchange 2021 will be a new kind of conference experience, and we hope you’ll join us!
Thank you for supporting AAMI as we continue to plan AAMI Exchange 2021 through uncertain times. While we remain optimistic and would like to return safely to meeting in-person, the health and safety of all who attend is our top priority. As we explore what it will mean to hold an in-person event, AAMI will continue to place high importance on providing measures that will ensure optimal health and adhere to sanitary guidelines.
We are also exploring options to facilitate a hybrid meeting that includes in-person as well as virtual components, with contingency plans being made if the annual meeting must be held fully virtual.
We will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at both the global and local levels and follow recommendations from the local public health department, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), Visit Charlotte Visitors and Convention Bureau, Charlotte Convention Center, Westin Charlotte, as well as the overflow hotels within the official Exchange hotel blocks.
Please see our resources below for additional information. Ongoing updates on the AAMI Exchange 2021 will be posted here, including a decision to hold the conference as an in-person event, a hybrid event or fully virtual.
