elcome to the Conference ... where we

showcase what's happening in healthcare ... around the corner and around the world.

  • the people - their work, their ideas and their achievements;
  • the organizations, the consultants and the businesses - their services and their products;

This unique, cutting-edge site was conceived of and designed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals to allow them to collaborate and share their work across sectors, disciplines and philosophies.

Our Goal

To showcase innovating, interesting and critical work underway in healthcare, work which is making significant positive contributions to the health system and to people's lives.

What Drives Us

To create a legacy of healthcare knowledge, accessible and widely available to all healthcare professionals, and interested others, anytime, anywhere. And, to remove barriers to sharing and accessing healthcare knowledge by making it available free-of-charge.

Our Values

Inclusiveness: We believe that everyone working in healthcare is doing work of value, (be it clinical, administrative, policy, research, education, ...). And, we believe that if the work is worth doing – it’s worth sharing. So, we give all professionals, organizations and businesses the opportunity to increase the value, visibility and impact of their work, services and products by showcasing them. Presenters who enjoy outstanding international reputations present alongside grassroots community organizations thereby democratizing the healthcare landscape and giving everyone a worldwide stage to share their work.

Social Justice: We approach healthcare from a broad social determinants of health perspective. We believe that the relationship between deprivation and health is basic to any responsive healthcare system. And that, we can no longer afford the luxury of focusing primarily on the prevention and treatment of illness while ignoring its root causes.

Collaboration: We are facing unprecedented challenges in healthcare. Do we have the knowledge to tackle these challenges? We believe we do. And so we built a site which gives the healthcare sector the ICT (Information Communication Technology) tools to share and collaborate in radically new ways, and in real time to tackle these challenges. We built this site to:

Harness the collective intelligence, collective knowledge and collective wisdom of the the world's healthcare professionals, because ...

“Knowledge is no longer the privilege of the few but the right of the many."
