FAQs

Have questions? We have the answers.

After hosting VGM Heartland Conference for nearly two decades, we’ve noticed some recurring questions from guests. We hope you’re able to get some answers to yours, here.

We recommend business casual while attending Heartland events. Iowa can be hot, humid, and cold on the same day. We recommend layers while at the conference.

Unfortunately, the courses and sessions for 2025 Heartland Conference will not be recorded or live streamed. 

Signs will be displayed directing you to sign up for the VGM tours. A VGM employee will reserve a spot on the shuttle for you to get you to our headquarters. You can sign up for tours at the Guest Services Desk.

The VGM Heartland Conference is an annual conference that brings our member communities together, along with leading vendor partners in the industry. Not only will you find solutions to some of today's most challenging problems, but you will also experience learning opportunities all while establishing long-lasting and impactful connections.  

The multi-day event is filled with education in areas such as billing and compliance, technology and security, business operations, complex rehab technology, leadership and people strategy, respiratory, sales, marketing, and retail, and specialty markets like accessibility, women’s health, wound care, government, 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, fireworks, education, and meals at an all-inclusive price. You simply cannot afford to miss it!

What can we say, we love cookies! Our freshly baked cookies are handmade by VGM's employees and are complimentary, so be sure to take one…or two…or three…or as many as you’d like while at Heartland. Enjoy!
