The OHCA Annual Convention & Trade
Show reaches an audience of approximately 800-900 professionals
representing the entire long-term care spectrum: nursing

proprietary organizations.
We strive to put together an energetic and well balanced
educational program to appeal to a diverse audience and make
their learning experience the best it can be. Our attendees have
varying levels of experience in the long term care profession
from significant experience (10 + years) to moderate experience
