Please join us for the HIMSS Austin Chapter Annual December Forum and Holiday Social.  This exciting forum will have three tracks focused on the future of Healthcare IT including Nursing, Startup and CIO Leadership panels. Each track will review concerns, best practices and 2023 priorities for our healthcare community. We are also very excited to announce the Nursing Leadership track will offer CE credits. This expanded program allows us to take a deep dive into critical healthcare technology topics.

Immediately following the forum please join us for our annual HIMSS Austin Chapter Holiday Social and get a head start on ringing in 2023.  The event will take place inside the KMFA Studios and will flow into the outdoor terrace with beverages, catered food and sweet treats, all while surrounded by beautiful downtown views.

We hope to see you there!
