LARGEST LONG TERM CARE TRADE SHOW IN VIRGINIA
Held in conjunction with the VHCA/VCAL Annual Convention, the 2015 Trade Show at the Embassy Suites Hampton Roads - Hotel, Spa & Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia is by far the largest and
most comprehensive trade show of its kind in Virginia. We invite you to exhibit at the 2015 Trade Show and be a part of a truly great event!
ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
The Virginia Health Care Association (VHCA) & the Virginia Center for Assisted Living (VCAL) is Virginia’s
preeminent long term care trade Association. VHCA/VCAL’s mission is to promote the delivery of quality extended health care ser-
vices through leadership,
information, education, col-lective action and collabora-
tive efforts with other provid-ers and citizen groups so
that quality health care
services along with a contin-uum of care are available to
all citizens of the Common-wealth of Virginia.
VHCA/VCAL represents over
90% of the nursing facilities
in Virginia, staffing more than 27,000 long term care
beds and a growing number of assisted living facilities.
The Association
began over a half century ago with a vision for quality in long term care. For more than 60 years, VHCA has repeatedly demon-
strated that by joining together, we can improve the delivery of care for the frail elderly and disabled throughout the Commonwealth.
VHCA/VCAL membership is a proven ingredient for professional success in long term care. Membership
opportunities include district meetings, committees, and vital communications pertaining to
regulatory, legislative, reimbursement, education and other long term care news.
The Trade Show provides you and your company or organization with an opportunity to meet with others in the profession. This event brings together the people, the education, the products and ser-
vices that are essential to the continued growth and success of quality long term care.

2015 ANNUAL TRADE SHOW
THE 2015 EVENT
The VHCA/VCAL Trade Show will be held
Tuesday, September 29th. Long term care professionals representing both nursing and
assisted living facilities will be in attendance. These professionals include facility
administrators, nurse managers, department heads, senior corporate staff members – the
team members that make high-quality long
term care services a reality in Virginia. These professionals are coming to Hampton to see
and discuss how they can enhance their success as caregivers and see first hand the
goods and services needed to provide care.
The 2015 Trade Show can play a vital role in the
marketing, development and profitability of your organization all in one event. Don’t miss this
opportunity to introduce yourself and your products or services to key buyers. Decisions
cannot be reached more effectively than with
product displays and demonstrations.
The Trade Show will be held in conjunction with the 2015 Convention.
The Trade Show will open its doors for
visitors between 1:15 - 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, September 29th. A cocktail

CONVENTION & TRADE SHOW THEME
Ahoy! The theme for this year's VHCA Trade Show and Convention is Long Term Care - navi-
gating the sea change. In these stressful eco-
nomic times, long term care is entering unchart-ed waters. Representing a sea change for Virgin-
ia’s nursing facilities, a number of providers have geared up for the voyage to managed care and
other issues impacting long term care. The 2015
Convention will focus on how the launch of the Commonwealth Coordinated Care program and
other movement toward Medicaid and Medicare managed care has impacted the long term care
provider community.
Long term care providers who are navigating
these challenging times have not been alone. Partnering with our vendors has helped im-
mensely with these transitions. Each of you has done your part to help hold down costs and yet
provide quality products.
VHCA/VCAL encourages exhibitors to embrace
and incorporate the theme, Long Term Care - navigating the sea change, in booth decorations,
games, and prizes. VHCA will sponsor a “Best
Booth” contest to recognize exhibitors for outstanding creativity and utilization of the
theme. A select panel will vote on the “Best Booth” towards the end of the show. Best booth
in keeping with the theme will be announced during cocktails. Winners must be present to
win.
Every exhibitor who contracts with
VHCA/VCAL prior to September 1st will have their company profile listed in the
VHCA/VCAL Buyer’s Guide. The Buyer’s
Guide is a great advertising supplement to our Membership Directory. Those in charge of
purchasing or decision-making reference the Buyer’s Guide throughout the year.
EXHIBITOR SERVICE KIT
Every exhibiting organization will be provided with a comprehensive Exhibitor Service Kit prior to the
show. All necessary information for the 2015 Trade
Show will be in the kit. On-site coordinators will be available at the registration
desk to assist exhibitors with registration, move-in, show operation and move-out.
VIRTUAL FLOORPLAN
All exhibitors have the opportunity to register for
booth space on-line. Exhibitors will have a free
profile listing in our Virtual Floorplan. It will feature company name, product information, contact
name, links to your company’s website and an email link for users to ask questions or to set up
appointments. The Virtual Floorplan is available on
the VHCA website at http://tradeshow.vhca.org/.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsoring selected events, meals and receptions
held during the Convention and Trade Show is an effective and powerful opportunity to showcase
your company’s image to long term care
professionals. VHCA/VCAL members build long lasting relationships with vendors and
organizations that support long term care through financial sponsorship. Detailed information about
sponsorship opportunities will be provided over the next few months. If you’re interested to learn

A truly breathtaking experience, Riverfront was designed by renowned golf course architect, Tom Doak. It is situated on the banks of the Nansemond River, near the mouth of the James River. The spectacular layout takes full advantage of its dramatic and unique riverside location. Play the best golf now at Riverfront Golf Club. It is truly the best condition golf course in the Tidewater area. It is the best golf available in Hampton Roads. Riverfront is an old-style course that winds its way through riverfront acreage, tidal marshes, huge oaks and pines and vast rolling farm-land. It offers a truly amazing setting for a great round of golf. Riverfront was voted 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest and included in "40 best Daily fee courses" by 'Golf and Travel Magazine'.
