Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo?
The CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo is the only conference for Community Health Centers focused on supply chain management and purchasing. This gathering brings together purchasing managers, operations leaders, and finance professionals to explore innovative purchasing strategies, connect with industry-leading suppliers, and address operational priorities.

The Reverse Expo is a unique networking opportunity where health center representatives (buyers) host booths and suppliers visit them. This format flips the traditional expo model, creating a more efficient and impactful way to build connections and foster partnerships.

When and where will the 2026 Summit take place?
The 2026 CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo will be held from November 10-13, 2025, at the AC Hotel Nashville Downtown in Nashville, TN.
Who can attend the Summit?
Attendee participation is open to registered community health centers. Please note that you must be a registered participant to attend any sessions or events.
What is the Reverse Expo, and how does it work?
The Reverse Expo is a signature feature of the Summit. Unlike traditional expos where suppliers set up booths, this format allows health center representatives to host booths while suppliers visit them. This structure enables health centers to efficiently communicate their needs and challenges, while suppliers can tailor their solutions to meet those needs. It’s a streamlined approach to fostering meaningful connections and driving impactful partnerships.
Is this event the same as the Delta Purchasing Alliance (DPA) Summit?
The CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo is the evolution of the Delta Purchasing Alliance (DPA) Summit. As the DPA has transitioned into a CHCollective program, this event now reflects CHCollective’s broader mission to serve community health centers with cost-saving solutions and resources. The partnership with the DPA remains strong, and DPA members continue to enjoy exclusive benefits.
When will the agenda be available?

The full agenda for the 2026 Summit will be posted by the end of May 2026. Stay tuned for updates on sessions, speakers, and networking opportunities!
