I'm packing my bags to head to HCD09, the Healthcare Design Conference. This year the conference is in Orlando from Oct 31st to Nov 3rd.
I only have the energy and budget to go to one conference each year and this is it. This is not an inexpensive conference, but it brings in the decision makers, the top people. Each year I see more artists and more art vendors.
Artists and art vendors that will have booths this year:

Henry, since I can't make the conference (not enough funds in the budget of The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals), can you take notes on the three presentations that you mentioned above! Thanks and buon lavoro!!

Elaine,
Yes, I'll take notes. In fact, if I find something of value I'll do a blog post on it. Desidero che potreste partecipare alla conferenza.
