Program Design

& Goal:

A non-partisan educational and training Summit designed as a “Town Hall” full spectrum

view towards the DoD, VA and Federal’s efforts at improving a connected health IT ecosystem.

The forum is created to encourage a real, pragmatic level of discussion and debate amongst all

in attendance.

We bring together leaders from across the Armed Services & Government Agencies and the

Industry and Academic leaders that can help them forge many of the HIT solutions necessary to

achieve their respective “next –steps”. Actionable takeaways for today, tomorrow, & the

future will drive the discussions towards moving from healthcare to health in a

connected ecosystem.

Operating

Guidelines:

DSI’s Symposium directly supports DoD, VA, and Government priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

DSI’s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

* The Summit is open and complimentary to all Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
