A Coalition for our Industry
The Acupuncture and Herbal Vendors Coalition (AHVC) is a group of acupuncture and herbal suppliers who have united as a national coalition to collaborate, present and act on our shared vision of a prosperous future for the acupuncture and East Asian medicine community in the United States.
The concept emerged from years of dinner discussions that we (Far East Summit) and other other exhibitors/suppliers spent while on the road during conference weekends. We realized that between us, we represented a unique combined influence. After many zoom meetings, AHVC Coalition finally came into being in 2025. Now we have 25 core member businesses.
AHVC is honored and pleased to be a part of a collaborative alliance with the Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Coalition (AHM) for a stronger voice in our industry.
The mission of AHVC is to present a unified view on critical issues that impact Acupuncture and Herbal business practices affecting this vital industry, while continuing to support the stability and growth of the profession at large.
AHVC is committed to partnering with educational institutions as well as state and national professional associations to promote mutually beneficial growth opportunities for all stakeholders within the profession and our industry.
