Healthcare Blogging Summit 2007 – Las Vegas, NV

Trusted.MD is planning a healthcare blogging conference here in my hometown of Las Vegas. They held one in DC in 2006 that looked quite good. I wish that I could be on one of panels they have planned. I’d love to meet and be on a panel with Tom Eng the Chairman & CTO of Healia. I’ve blogged about the Healia search engine a few times before. Plus, the topic of that panel is “Find and Be Found: Search, Distribution and Reputation Management & Measurement” That’s perfect for me. I’d also like it because then I could probably go to the conference for free.

Anyway, here’s what’s planned for the conference:
