ACE Summit and Reverse Expo: Where Capital Strategy Meets Patient-Centered Innovation

In today’s complex healthcare landscape, infrastructure, equipment, and environment are not merely background elements — they are central to patient outcomes. The ACE Summit and Reverse Expo is a one-of-a-kind event designed to elevate how healthcare organizations approach Capital Equipment, Healthcare Facilities, and Capital Projects. With a keen focus on improving the patient experience in both acute and non-acute care settings, this summit has become a leading forum for industry-wide education and cross-sector collaboration.

Blending strategic education with a unique Reverse Expo format, the ACE Summit empowers healthcare leaders, architects, contractors, and suppliers to rethink what it means to deliver high-quality care through physical spaces and infrastructure innovation.

A Strategic Summit with a Purpose: Redefining the Patient Experience

At the heart of the ACE Summit is a powerful question: How can the healthcare environment better serve the people within it? Whether it’s a new hospital wing, diagnostic suite, or long-term care facility, every capital project plays a vital role in the patient journey.

The ACE Summit addresses this through:

Cutting-edge education sessions that explore trends, compliance, and innovation.

Networking forums where ideas move from paper to practice.

A focus on strategic sourcing, construction trends, and project execution.

Cross-functional conversations that include leadership from finance, design, engineering, and operations.

The result? A holistic approach that considers not only cost and construction but the human impact of every decision.

Reverse Expo Format: Flipping the Script for Efficiency and Impact

What makes the ACE Summit truly distinctive is its Reverse Expo Format — a proven model that turns traditional trade shows on their head. Instead of suppliers lining up booths for attendees to browse, the format is reversed: healthcare providers host booths, and vendors, manufacturers, and service providers meet with them through pre-scheduled appointments.

Benefits of the Reverse Expo Format:

Efficient networking: Meetings are organized in advance, saving time and travel costs.

Targeted interaction: Vendors connect directly with decision-makers from health systems and hospitals.

Meaningful conversations: Focus is placed on solutions, projects, and real-world needs.

Equal opportunity: All vendors have the chance to present, regardless of company size or marketing budget.

This format creates a business development ecosystem where collaboration is efficient, equitable, and deeply productive.
