So as you may have noticed, I have added an additional tab of information to Pulse & Signal – the Upcoming Events tab. Here I will be listing any events that may be of interest to the health and technology crowd, in hopes of raising awareness and helping to inform. The next events on the list are the CDC’s 2nd Annual National Conference on Health Communications, Marketing, and Media as well as a local event – HealthCampDC. Both of these I am very excited about!
The conference on Health Communications, Marketing and Media is taking place in Atlanta, GA this week – bringing together a multitude of health practitioners who are working and interested in the varied mediums of communications. I am personally happy that the CDC decided to put together this type of event (it’s the second one) and hoping to be able to attend next year. I also really like the theme of this year’s conference – Engage and Deliver – looking to higlight how public health can engage with the public and partners to develop and disseminate better health information and interventions to improve the health of the individuals and their communities.
Next up is HealthCampDC, one that I’ve been helping to promote through social media channels! Basically HealthCampDC will be working toward highlighting the uses of new media and various other technologies to those working in the health field. Join me and many others for a day of learning and connecting! Please find more information here at the event wiki where you can sign up for participation as well.
Stay tuned for more information on HealthCamp and other upcoming events!
