2026 Purchasing Summit Agenda at a Glance

Our agenda is taking shape, and we’re excited to share a preview of what’s in store.

This year’s CHCollective Purchasing Summit & Reverse Expo will bring together community health center leaders, industry experts, and trusted supplier partners for two days of practical education, collaborative discussions, and meaningful networking designed to strengthen purchasing strategies and improve operational performance.

We’re continuing to finalize additional speakers, educational sessions, and event details. Check back often as we continue building an engaging educational experience designed specifically for community health centers. We look forward to welcoming you to Nashville this November!

Educational Sessions

Attendees can look forward to engaging sessions covering topics such as:

  • Recent Changes to Law: Federal Policies, Health Centers & the Supply Chain
  • Artificial Intelligence in Procurement & Supply Chain
  • Cross-Functional Supply Chain Leadership
  • GPO Fundamentals: Capture the Savings Within Your Reach
  • How to Design and Manage an Effective RFP
  • Inventory Management: Tactics & Strategies
  • Measuring Total Cost of Care
  • Reverse Expo
  • Networking & Collaboration Opportunities

Each session is designed to provide practical strategies, actionable takeaways, and peer-driven discussions that attendees can immediately apply within their own organizations.

Experience the Reverse Expo

Our Reverse Expo flips the traditional exhibit hall experience on its head. Instead of walking booth-to-booth searching for solutions, community health center leaders remain at designated tables while supplier partners rotate through scheduled conversations.

The result is a more productive experience, stronger relationships, and focused discussions centered around the operational challenges health centers face every day.

Build Meaningful Connections

Some of the Summit’s most valuable conversations happen outside the main sessions. Our networking reception, meals, and informal gathering spaces provide opportunities to exchange ideas, strengthen professional relationships, and continue conversations with peers and supplier partners long after each session ends.

Discover Nashville

Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, this year’s Summit offers attendees the opportunity to experience one of America’s most vibrant cities. From world-class music and exceptional dining to Southern hospitality and unforgettable entertainment, Nashville provides the perfect backdrop for learning, collaboration, and networking.
