"The Healthcare IT Summit is a unique opportunity for this often fragmented industry to come together and hear multiple perspectives on the future of information technology and what it means to their complex market," said Robert C. DeMarzo, SVP of Strategic Content for UBM Channel. "Understanding the direction of new technologies and the importance of redefined business strategies will enable healthcare IT executives from both payer and provider organizations to learn from one another and implement best practices."

The Healthcare IT Summit will also feature the popular Channel@Work program, giving attendees and sponsors an opportunity to give back to the community. This year the conference has partnered with The Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda. The Ronald McDonald House, located near Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, provides affordable lodging for families of children undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses.
