Two LeaderStat team members will soon be packing their bags to be there from October 7-10. This [ACHA/NCHL Conference](https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/default.aspx) promises to be the “most relevant, compelling, and value-packed event” in healthcare, and based on the advertised speakers and event schedule, that just might be true.   KEY TO MOTIVATION This conference offers current healthcare information, networking opportunities, and the strategies and motivation to return to work energized and prepared to create lasting improvements. Not convinced? Among the keynote speakers are Captain Scott Kelly, astronaut and author of *Year in Space*, whose personal reflections on leadership, teamwork and testing limits inspire his audiences to reach their goals; and Dan Thurmon, president of Motivation Works, who teaches how to achieve peak performance in the workplace.   LEARN BY HEART If that’s not enough, add in three full days of workshops and educational sessions on topics ranging from dementia care practice regulations, to strategies for increasing staffing stability, to current antibiotic prescribing practices, among many others. The goal is to provide long-term and post-acute care professionals solutions and strategies to save money and time.  Networking opportunities will be everywhere, administrators and nurses can accrue continuing education credit, and don’t forget the Gala Dinner and Show with Kenny Loggins!   MEETING OF THE MINDS However, the most happening place in the convention will be the exhibit hall. Always packed, always bustling, and filled with over 300 vendors who are experts in their healthcare niche, this is where you will find [Julie Osborne](https://www.leaderstat.com/about-us/meet-our-team/Julie-Osborne) and [Kendra Nicastro](https://www.leaderstat.com/about-us/meet-our-team/Kendra-Nicastro).
