What is Heartland Conference?
The VGM Heartland Conference is an annual conference that brings our member community together, along with leading manufacturers in the industry. Not only will you find solutions to some of today's most challenging problems, you will also experience classroom and hands-on learning opportunities; while establishing long-lasting and impactful connections.
The multi-day event is filled with education in areas such as rehab, marketing, accessibility, compliance, business leadership, people strategy, and more. Network with your peers, see the latest product innovations, learn from the industry's top professionals, and have a little fun while you're at it.
Heartland includes peer-to-peer best practice sharing, an exhibit hall with hands-on product demos, a Midwestern hog roast with 3D fireworks, and community dinners at an all-inclusive price. You simply cannot afford to miss it!
