HIMSS Europe is a company of the world health that mix innovation, networking and education. They have every year a great exhibition with conferences, and this year it will be in Barcelona so soon (21-22 November) and for know a little bit before visit them we wanted to know a few things about what we will find this year, for that we contacted them and we asked them the questions below:
There are a lot of things to do in the programme. Could you highlight any activity?
The keynotes are very special this year with two celebrity speakers like Dr Zubin Damania (aka ZDoggMD), Physician and off-white rapper at the same time, with thousands of online followers and Ralph Echemendia who is an ethical hacker from the Hollywood industry.
We can see that more than 1 conference will be executing at the same time. Could you give us some tips for know what conference we should choose?
We have worked on making all the summits top notch, so it really depends on what topic you are interested in. New to the conference is the Genomics and Cybersecurity sessions.
Why is HIMSS Europe a good place for networking?
HIMSS is the world’s largest for profit Health IT organisation so we have an enormous reach to professionals in this industry and therefore believe it is a perfect place for not only educational purposes but also networking.
What is going to be the novelties?
The whole format of the conference is very innovative and new, but this is also a surprise so I can’t reveal it!
Where is the key of the Health Development?
All stakeholders carry a part of the key, hence why we need these gatherings to bring the key together!
Can you give some tips for those exhibiting for the first time?
Exhibiting for the first time? Please make sure you are visible on your stand. Be open and talk to attendees. Avoid talking too much with other exhibitors at their stand forgetting people around you! Be positive and make sure to be ‘on top’ during the breaks – especially the lunches.
Give us some reasons to don't miss the exhibition.
Lots of entertaining surprises! The whole show floor will be set up like a marketplace, the keynote stage will be on the show floor stage, the opening reception is not to be missed and we will launch the Women in Health IT Community.
Lastly, can you give us some participation results from the last edition?
This is the first edition of WoHIT in this format and we are expecting approximately 1500 delegates.
