HiMSS 21 in-person convention set for Las Vegas, Aug 9-13

PARCA eNews – July 9, 2021 – It’s back to in-person attendance at one of the biggest healthcare conventions in the US. 

CIOs and senior executives, providers and payers, IT and PACS professionals will once again gather in person for HiMSS 21 in Las Vegas for the first time in a year-and-half due to the pandemic.

Too big for a single venue HiMSS 21 will take over Venetian-Sands Expo Center, Caesars Forum Conference Center, and Wynn Las Vegas.
Registration is online only. Whether you go for the educational programming, the networking or the vendor exhibits, HiMSS21 promises to be the healthcare IT industry’s most influential conference and trade show of the year.

As of this writing, COVID-19 safety protocols will require each attendee, exhibitor, and HIMSS staff member will have to complete a two-step process to gain access to the HIMSS21 campus – either provide proof of vaccination, or validate vaccination status in one of three on-site stations. Currently, Masks will be supported but not required on the HIMSS21 Campus. Further updates to the protocols will be provided via the online HiMSS 21 Health and Safety Hub.

Some of the exciting topics on the program include:

• Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning,
• Bioinformatics or Healthcare Informatics Research
• Change Management
• Cybersecurity, Information Security and Privacy
• Health Information Exchange or Interoperability
• Telehealth, Connected Health and Virtual Health

Featured speakers include such luminaries as Michael Rogers, former director of the National Security Agency, Alex Stamos, former chief security officer for Facebook and former governors Chris Christie (New Jersey) and Terry McAuliffe (Virginia). The closing keynote will be given by ex-Yankee A-Rod Alex Rodriguez.
