2015 HIMSS Annual Conference Texas HIMSS Chapters Reception

The Texas HIMSS chapters held a very successful reception at the national HIMSS conference on Monday, April 13th. The event was held on the exhibit floor at the NetApp booth who sponsored the reception. The event was attended by approximately 200 attendees who feasted on Chicago-themed hors d'oeuvres as well as beer and wine. It was a great opportunity to network and welcome members of the newest Texas chapter, Lubbock.  Austin, DFW, Houston and San Antonio chapters all participated in the event. Thank you to all who participated!
