Networking Events and Awards

Join like-minded and motivated stakeholders and decision-makers at ATA2023 to talk telehealth. This is not a healthcare conference dabbling in virtual care. ATA2023 is the telehealth conference that puts telehealth in its place – within a new omnichannel care delivery model. And it’s all happening in a city full of culture, world-class cuisine and cowboys!

We’re planning a variety of networking opportunities and social events, starting with a Welcome Reception on Saturday night, March 4, and our can’t miss 30th Anniversary Gala and Leadership Dinner on Sunday evening, March 5. And, we’ll close out the conference at a rockin’ block party in historic Downtown San Antonio on March 6. You don’t want to miss these events!

Welcome Reception

Join us on Saturday, March 4, from 7:00 – 10:00PM at the Convention Center and catch up with colleagues, make new contacts and find out why San Antonio was designated a Creative City of Gastronomy by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)!
