The World of Health IT 2008 Conference & Exhibition will be designed by and for clinicians and other health professionals; health IT users and buyers; directors and administrators; informatics professionals; academicians; relevant standardisation and competent authorities on an international level and national level, and vendors such as software and hardware development companies and professional services firms.

As a proposal submitter, your proposal will be reviewed and considered for possible program selection for the World of Health IT 2008 Conference & Exhibition. The majority of proposals selected will come from the region and geographic focus for the conference. Only a few selected proposals will be accepted or invited from outside the region.

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.

Because the adoption of IT in healthcare is a global initiative - one that affects the healthcare community throughout the world - this conference will focus on the role and impact Health IT has on the health sector in Europe and other parts of the world, including the Middle East and Africa. 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.
