HSPA 2026 is almost here, and we’re excited to be heading to Baltimore, Maryland, April 25–28. We’re looking forward to connecting with sterile processing professionals from across the country. This year, we have a lot of great things lined up and can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.
Kicking things off, the HSPA Opening Reception, Harbor Lights & Clean Nights, takes place Sunday, April 26 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM at the Hilton Key Ballroom. It’s a great opportunity to connect with peers.
Healthmark and Getinge are exhibiting together in a unified booth experience designed around the real-world sterile processing workflow. As you move through the space, you’ll travel through clearly defined zones that reflect key stages of the SPD ecosystem, from decontam through prep & pack, sterilization, and transport & storage. Be sure to stop by and visit booth 929 & 1128.
We’ll be hosting in-booth education sessions you won’t want to miss:
- Monday, April 27
- 1:30 – 2:00 PM: Optimizing Automated Cleaning Outcomes
- 3:30 – 4:00 PM: Strengthening Flexible Endoscope Reprocessing
- Tuesday, April 28
- 8:30 – 9:00 AM: Optimizing Automated Cleaning Outcomes
- 10:00 – 10:30 AM: Strengthening Flexible Endoscope Reprocessing
Last but certainly not least, we’re proud to share that clinical education specialist, Michael Matthews, has been selected as an HSPA conference session speaker. Please join him on Monday, April 27 at 10:00 AM in room 307-308 for, “Damage is Danger: What You Don't See Can (and Has) Hurt Patients.” His session explores real-world evidence linking visible scope defects to infection and injury, while highlighting the “3 T’s” of effective inspection: Tools, Training, and Time.
Safe travels to Baltimore and be sure to add booth 929 & 1128 to your must-visit list. We look forward to connecting with you in person.
