About the Annual Assembly

The Annual Assembly will feature high quality education and opportunities to network with your hospice and palliative care colleagues on our new virtual platform. The meeting has been designed so you can network one on one, in small groups, and with faculty during the educational sessions via chat and Twitter. Use the new hashtag, #hapc21, in your tweets.

The 2021 virtual meeting captured hearts, re-energized spirits, and stimulated minds, but in new and different ways. Attendees experienced the best hospice and palliative care education and the opportunity to connect with others. Stay tuned as we reimagine the 2022 Annual Assembly, schedule for February 9-12 in Nashville, TN
