We are estimating the 2020 Ontario Health IT Conference attendee numbers to be conservatively in the range of 350 to 500 HIT Professionals, not including conference exhibitor/sponsor staffs.
For reference, for the 1st annual Ontario Health IT Conference held October 2019, there were a total of 330 attendees.
Of those 330, over 275 were staff persons from Ontario based provider organizations.
In addition, there were approximately 170 exhibitors and sponsors staff onsite, too.
All attendees combined onsite for the conference day was just over 500 for year one in Ontario.
• We target/invite full-time staff persons who work in places where patient care happens in the province of Ontario.
• We invite deciders and influencers from area hospitals, health care system organizations, medical clinics, doctor offices, and IT departments of medical colleges and universities in Ontario.
• The event sponsor is HIMSS Ontario Chapter. This chapter consists of over 500 HIT professionals. These members will be invited to attend by chapter leadership.
• We also invite Ontario area HIT professionals from healthcare provider organizations who are not current members of HIMSS Ontario Chapter.
• We also invite the membership of our event association partners.
• We target C level, D level, M level, and a variety of other healthcare executives from area health care provider organizations who influence decision making.
• Since ’06, we have built and managed over twenty regional HIT conferences in the states and we have always exceeded the minimum 300 level of event attendees anticipated.
