We’re excited to welcome you back for the 22nd Annual Pacific Northwest Medical Management Conference—returning to Vancouver, WA May 20-22, 2026!
Hosted by Oregon HLA and Washington State HLA, this annual event brings together practice managers, healthcare administrators, and emerging leaders from across the Pacific Northwest and Inland Northwest region for three days of connection, education, and innovation.
As we celebrate 22 years of trusted leadership in the Pacific and Inland Northwest region, we remain proud of our long-standing history and the professional community we’ve built. This is the original, trusted conference—rooted in over two decades of service by our associations' volunteer board members, members who serve out of their passion for growth, and connection. If you’ve been here before, you know the difference. And if it’s your first time? You’ll feel it the moment you arrive.
