HIMSS Orlando 2022 for the Federal Health IT Executive
HIMSS22 is a VACCINATION REQUIRED event for all attendees, exhibitors and HIMSS staff. Check out this link for important details on access to the event including evolving Right of Entry Protocols for HIMSS22. HIMSS22 Health and Safety Hub.
With more than 40,000 attendees, the annual HIMSS conference scheduled for March remains the premier Health IT conference, but with a heavy commercial focus, it can be hard to connect with your Federal Health IT colleagues.
For nearly 60 years, HIMSS members and Healthcare professionals—from CIOs and senior executives to providers and payers to IT consultants and entrepreneurs—have attended this premier Health IT conference. While G2X cannot predict as of the writing of this what in-person or virtual attendance is likely to be, vendors and agencies alike are confirming their participation. With representation from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Defense Health Agency, many will want to ensure they take part in one way or another. What are you planning? Attending in person or virtually? We’ve been asked by several to get a feel for what others are doing. Message me at heather@g2xchange.com with a quick response.
Included here are three things to help you make the most of your week: Key Sessions to attend; a list of booths you may want to visit; and some of the planned social events. Items in RED denote recent updates.
Note: This is Version 4.0 of this list. Have something to add? Reach out and let me know at Julie@G2Xchange.com
