Virtual before it was cool!
HETMA’s signature virtual event returns for it’s 8th edition this Wednesday-Friday, February 18-20, 2026! And as always, it’s completely free, and hosted through our online comminuty Zoom!
This year’s theme is #RoadTo10K where we focus on growth mentality… building up our skills, knowledge, and community. HETMA is “by us, and for us.”
The conference opens every morning at 10am EST (7am PST) with a casual morning coffee, continues into an insightful keynote address, info session, networking lunch, two knowledge sharing sessions, and closes with our always-fun happy hour at 5pm EST.
