| In 1998, HCEA formed an Exhibitor Designated Contractors (EDC) Task Force to address issues surrounding the use of EDCs by exhibitors at healthcare conventions and exhibitions. The task force developed the following best practices as a guide for all parties involved to ensure fairness and efficiency in the use of EDCs.
