This unique event is designed to connect leading health information and communication technology experts from Europe and beyond in educational sessions, vendor exhibitions, interoperability demonstrations, exchange of experiences and networking sessions, and other professional development opportunities.

The educational sessions will primarily address experiences from deployed services, and focus on proven benefits in quality and efficiency. The participants will also discuss the challenges faced by the early adopters. The demonstration activities will give unique insight into the practical aspects of IT systems and their connectivity. The exhibition is expected to be one of the largest Health IT industrial exhibitions to-date in Europe.
