GMHC Special Meetings

Application for Special Meetings will close four weeks prior to the conference.

Special meetings serve an important purpose at the GMHC, providing organizations and individuals additional time and space for healthcare-focused networking and training. Registered conference attendees can request approval to hold a special meeting and reserve meeting space at Southeast Christian Church. This benefit is offered in collaboration with Southeast Christian Church who provides staff support and oversight for these meetings .
