HIMSS Day One is a Wrap: Despite the weather delaying the arrival for some, HIMSS got off to a fast start with big news by CMS, HHS and VA/Apple.
The firm making the biggest splash on Day One at HIMSS – GDIT
HIMSS is an awesome opportunity to step up and create some BUZZ. The full Day One of HIMSS ended with an even longer night as a who’s who of Federal Health leaders ended up at the very successful GDIT party, which was still going strong when the G2X and FedHealthIT team took leave.
A string of key hires and the big acquisition of CSRA in 2018 has kept GDIT front and center, but we hear more big news is on the way! Learn More Here.
It will be tough to match the success of Day One, but to help you along the way, here is:
Your 2019 HIMSS Game Plan – Day Two – Included here are three things to help you make the most of your day: Key Sessions to attend; a list of booths you may want to visit; and some of the planned social events.
