For one of the New Media Meetups at HIMSS we met at the Pervasive booth on the exhibitor floor. I must admit that I wasn’t quite sure what I’d find at the Pervasive booth, but I’d had a few interactions with the people behind the company and so I was excited to meet them in person.

Turns out when I first got there I was told about how Pervasive was taking the data stuck in EMR software or other healthcare software and was helping revenue cycle management companies extract that data out. I thought what they were doing was pretty interesting and so I caught this video explaining a little bit more about Pervasive:

After last night’s great New Media Meetup Kick off event, I’m really excited for the other 2 New Media Meetups that I’ve put together. I can’t wait to meet some more people since I only met a few of the people at the event last night. Plus, we’re giving away some really cool stuff at these events.

Here are the times and locations of the New Media Meetups:

Feel free to leave a comment if you plan to be there. I’m looking forward to networking with more people and also learning about some of the must see vendors at HIMSS.

I’m excited to announce a number of meetups at HIMSS for those using New Media or interested in New Media (Blogging, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc). See this as a great way to network with some of your favorite bloggers or tweeters.

None of the events will have a really formal agenda. Just a chance to network with people, talk about healthcare IT and new Media. Of course we’ll also have food, drinks and giveaway some really great stuff. The kick off event will be at the amazing Georgia Aquarium, conveniently located by the conference center. The other events will be on the showroom floor.

Here are the details for the various meetups:
