We were excited to welcome everyone back to our hometown of Raleigh, NC, this year, where we welcomed over 500 attendees from 24 states. On June 6-7, we gathered at the Raleigh Convention Center for an amazing line-up of speakers, sessions, and plenty of networking opportunities.

One of the highlights of the conference was the Tuesday evening welcome reception, where guests gathered at Market Hall for An Evening in Hollywood. Attendees walked the red carpet, were photographed by the paparazzi, and enjoyed amazing food in a Hollywood-inspired event space. We were thrilled to see so many attendees embracing the theme with their costumes, we would've never thought Wolverine, the Golden Girls, the cast of Grease, among many others, would have made an appearance at our event!

CAHEC would like to thank the 92 sponsors that supported the 2023 CAHEC Partners Conference this year. With your support, we can continue offering this valuable event at no cost to attendees.

If you missed any part of the conference this year, or want to relive the festivities, the pictures will be posted to our Facebook page. If you would like to download the presentation materials from any of our sessions, please visit our website.
