It’s officially summer and there’s a lot happening behind the scenes at Health 2.0 as we prepare for our biggest event yet! Our annual San Francisco Fall Conference will be held on October 6th and 7th at the Concourse Exhibition Center. Just two years after its first conference, Health 2.0 has become the must-see showcase for consumers and providers’ use of new web and mobile tools in health care, and the venue where new products are launched, new concepts are developed and new movements are built.
Now taking submissions for Launch! Launch! is one of the most popular sessions at Health 2.0. Attendees get a rapid-fire preview of the latest, most exciting product and company introductions in healthcare. Do you have a brand new product that you’d like to unveil to the Health 2.0 community in October 2009? Then we want to hear from you, please submit our speaker request form, and note that you’d like to be considered for Launch! https://boltyboy69.wufoo.com/forms/health-20-panelist-application/
With nearly a hundred speakers and plenty of new healthcare demos and technologies on display on stage and in the exhibit hall, you’ll get a sweeping overview of the ways that information technology and the web are changing healthcare.
We’ll be looking at the “traditional” Health 2.0 areas like vertical search, online social networks, and tools for consumers. We will also be focusing on how new technologies are connecting patients and physicians and we’ll take a close look at the real-world impact of Health 2.0 tools on patients lives.
Here’s an UPDATED overview of the sometimes controversial, always engaging content you’ll see!
