About WHITThe World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition

23-25 October 2007
Austria Center, Vienna

Now in its second year,The World of Health IT Conference Exhibition is unique to the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA). This major event is a proven concept that bridges the gap between public policy and the realities of day-to-day implementation by bringing all sectors of the e-Health community together, under one roof.

The inaugural 2006 conference and exhibition featured contributions from the EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media, Viviane Reding, Member of the European Parliament Baroness Nicholson and Per Båtelson, the CEO of Global Health Partner, plus many more.

Meanwhile, top-name exhibitors included AGFA Healthcare, Cisco, Eastman Kodak, Microsoft, Oracle, Panasonic, Philips and Siemens, among dozens of others working with key partners such as the World Health Organisation, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society and the European Commission.

Through the use of keynote speeches, e-sessions, symposia, networking opportunities and, of course, the exhibition itself, the goal of the event is to successfully unite those key members of the healthcare community tasked with delivering innovative services to EMEA citizens. At its core is the challenge of delivering fact-based solutions in a rapidly changing world.

Once again, this year, the conference and exhibition has been designed for and by the region ’s healthcare IT community – buyers, vendors, technology users, providers and healthcare regulators - and is therefore specifically targeted to the relevant market.

This market is aware healthcare IT faces several challenges:

For the second successive year, the World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition will bring the industry’s stakeholders together to exchange information and drive the advancement of healthcare IT.

Given that healthcare IT will account for approximately 5% of the EU Member States’ healthcare budget by 2010, we are confident that the World of Health IT Conference and Exhibition will give your company the perfect opportunity to influence highly financed decision makers via this cutting- edge forum.

So put our business where it needs to be, in Vienna 2007.
