Important Schedule Change!

Besides the switch to April, HIMSS09 kicks off on SATURDAY April 4th with the preconference Symposia and Workshops. Keynotes, education sessions, the exhibition and the opening reception begin on Sunday, April 5th.

Hotel Reservations

Don't wait… make your hotel reservations now. When making your air and hotel reservations, don't forget that the conference starts a day earlier than in the past (Sun - Wed instead of Mon - Thurs).

Be an architect of change

Just as architecture has the power to transform a skyline, create new vistas and reshape the horizon—so technology has the power to redefine healthcare.

HIMSS09 is where physicians, nurses, HIT executives, pharmacists, vendors and healthcare IT professionals from around the world come together for a week that will forever change the face of healthcare IT. They come in search of solutions. They leave with a shared vision.
