This looks interesting: The Microsoft Health & Life Sciences Developer and Solutions Conference is coming to Atlantic City this April.
From the web site:
This is a unique event designed for developers, architects, technical and business decision makers in the healthcare industry. Please join us to discover how Microsoft, its partners, and customers make possible the delivery of Software + Services in Health & Life Sciences.
The event event has a blog with updates to the sessions and agenda, even a humorous cartoon or two.
They will also show off Microsoft Surface. I wonder if they'll have a health care specific demo.
As the cartoon illustrates, I do hope they pick the subject matter of that demo carefully.
Check out the promotional flyer for more information.
Although geared primarily towards the healhcare vertical, the sessions include a wide variety of topics of interest to just about anyone.
Confirmed Technical Sessions include:
· Programming Microsoft Silverlight 2.0
· Building Secure ASP.NET AJAX Applications
· ASP.NET AJAX Design & Development Patterns
· SQL Server Data Services – scalable, easily programmable and highly available utility-based data store
· Building Enterprise Office Business Application Mashups

· Managing the Application Lifecycle with Visual Studio Team System
· Presence and speech enabling your applications with Microsoft Unified Communications
· Architecting for High Performance and Multicore with Microsoft HPC and the .NET Parallel Framework

All this and the event is free.
