Lausanne to Host European eHealth Summit

HIMSS Europe is the European arm of HIMSS, the largest health IT membership organisation in the world. More than 300 healthcare providers, alongside representatives from science, politics and industry, will attend this year’s summit. The event’s theme of ‘innovation’ will include seminar and keynote topics such as e-medication, m-health, Big Data and cyber security.

Lausanne Tourism & Convention Bureau will support the event with a number of operational services, including excursion management and accommodation coordination, using Lausanne’s bespoke hotel booking platform which optimises value for purchasers of accommodation.

Gerald Howard, Senior Business Development Manager at Lausanne Tourism & Convention Bureau, says: “With delegates attending from across Europe, Lausanne’s excellent transportation network and wide choice of accommodation, made it the ideal choice for HIMSS Europe’s event. The innovative backdrop of the SwissTech Convention Center and Lausanne’s reputation as a hub for international medical conferences also offers the perfect synergy for the summit’s innovation theme.”
