"E-health is one of the most important business sectors in Europe today," said Denise Silber, president of Basil Strategies, who is organizing the Paris event with Health 2.0's founders, Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya. "Health 2.0 Europe integrates the Web 2.0 user-generated content concept with a number of aspects of health that are fundamentally different in Europe than in the U.S. It is therefore crucial to address the local industry with local actors from European countries, and we are thrilled by the number of partners who are already enthusiastically supporting this event."

For four years, the Health 2.0 conference has been the premier bi-annual industry forum for the converging industries of Web 2.0 and social media in the U.S. Since its inception, Health 2.0 has enjoyed a strong network of supporting partners encompassing the healthcare and technology ecosystems, ranging from industrials, to organizations, to health technology innovators.
