Why Sponsor?

Since the inaugural ASHEcon conference in 2006, the conference has doubled in size. It continues to grow each year; attendance was up by 20% in 2016. Starting in 2018, the ASHEcon Conference became an annual event due to increased interest and participation.
The ASHEcon conference is the only inclusive setting that allows primarily US-based health economists to gather for an intensive meeting at which they can present their research and participate in professional development and networking activities.

  2. Cement your status as a market leader
  3. Increase brand awareness
  4. Be an essential part of the conversation
  5. Engage and build with thought leaders in economics, healthcare, technology etc.
