Are you ready for 2020? Before the new year gets into full swing, take a moment to mark your calendar with these top five healthcare industry events. Take note: the first (and biggest!) is in March – just a few months away. If you’re interested in attending or exhibiting, register soon.
2020 promises to be a big year for healthcare and digital health innovations. With presidential candidates discussing healthcare reform on the campaign trail and IoT standing poised to change the industry as we know it, the new year (and the new decade) will see major shifts in the industry, big advances in digital health, and the realization of the full potential of healthcare IT and IoT trends. We predict that these will be key topics of conversation at the five events below. Companies looking to make an impact on the future of healthcare should plan to attend these events and add to the discussion.
