Registration for the 2025 International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction is open. The American Society for Health Care Engineering and its fellow supporting organizations have announced details on programming for the 2025 PDC Summit, which will take place March 9-12 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Each year, the PDC Summit brings together thousands of healthcare planning, design and construction professionals to learn, network and share solutions with the goal of creating safe healing environments. The conference welcomes individuals at every stage of their careers across a broad spectrum of professions, including design professionals, facilities managers, construction professionals, hospital administrators and care providers.
General sessions include an opening keynote by entrepreneur, author and futurist Morris Morrison, who will challenge attendees to induce growth and deliver results through disruption, as well as concurrent sessions that center on design solutions for project security, leveraging data to find the balance between regulation and innovation, and a preview of changes to the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 70, National Electric Code and NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code.
Attendees can align their experience of the 2025 PDC Summit along eight learning tracks: Behavioral Health; Clinical Perspectives; Collaborative PDC Methodologies; Safety and Resiliency; Site of Care; Sustainability and Decarbonization; Regulation and Compliance and a track curated by The Center for Health Design focused on research, design and outcomes. Central topics are explored across a variety of session formats including keynotes, lecture-style and debate-style sessions, as well as peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing forums.
Several interactive sessions, such as certification exam review programs, an Evidence-Based Design workshop and an in-person facility tour, are also offered as add-on events.
Early registration rates are available through Jan. 10. For more details and to register, visit ashe.org/education/pdc-summit.
