Maximizing Your #HIMSS17 Experience – Whether Attending Physically or Virtually – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 2/10 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Steve Sisko (@HITConfGuy and @shimcode). We’ll be discussing the topic “Maximizing Your HIMSS17 Experience – Whether Attending Physically or Virtually“.

To most of of us who operate in the healthcare and information technology space, the HIMSS Conference & Exhibition is considered to be the SuperBowl of all healthcare conferences. It’s been happening for a long time (since 1961), it’s attended by a huge number of people (about 45,000 attendees projected for 2017), it’s surrounded by lots of pomp and circumstance leading up to the event and it can be enjoyed by not only those attending in person but also those attending “virtually.”

The intention for the #HITsm chat on February 10th is to share information, ideas, opinions and tips for getting the most out of this annual healthcare mega-event.

#HIMSS17 Meetup with #HITsm and #hcldr
If you’ll be at HIMSS, we’re doing a physical #HITsm meetup combined with the #hcldr community on Tuesday, 2/21 from 10:00-10:45 AM ET at the Orlando Convention Center Lobby Hall D. There will likely be many people participating in the meetup virtually using the #HITsm and #hcldr hashtags as well.

Upcoming #HITsm Chat Schedule
2/17 – Enough talk, lets #GSD (Get Stuff Done)
Hosted by Burt Rosen (@burtrosen) from @healthsparq

2/24 – HIMSSanity Recovery Chat
With #HIMSS17 happening the week of this chat, we’ll take the week off from a formal chat. However, we encourage people that attended HIMSS or watched HIMSS remotely to share a “Tweetstorm” that tells a #HIMSS17 story, shares insights about a topic, rants on a topic of interest, or shows gratitude. Plus, it will be fun to test out a new form of tweetstorm Twitter chat. We’ll post more details as we get closer.

We look forward to learning from the #HITsm community! As always let us know if you have ideas for how to make #HITsm better.
