The 10th annual Midwest Fall Technology Conference is being held from November 13 through the 15th in the Radisson Blu Hotel at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. The Minnesota HIMSS Chapter is hosting this year’s event, in partnership with the Iowa, Indiana, Greater Chicago, Wisconsin, and Michigan HIMSS Chapters. This year’s theme is: “Secure Your Patient Experience,” with presentations focused on all aspects of effectively protecting patient information.

We are excited to be able to hold the event at a venue that facilitates the opportunity to learn from each other, network with our peers, and involve our families for some fantastic social events. 

Some highlights of this year’s event include:

•    Family Night at the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park: The conference has booked the whole park so attendees and families will have free reign of the rides and attractions
•    Keynote Speakers: Joe Topinka and Shirley A. Weis
•    A wide range of presentations, all centered around our core theme of protecting patient information
•    Myriad opportunities to network with your peers at events across the Radisson Blu hotel and the Mall of America
