Digital Health Executives Network Forum
Be a champion – HIC for leaders
This invite only pre-HIC forum will bring together digital health executives, CXIOs and emerging digital health leaders for a day of discussions on key topics and networking with other high-profile leaders in digital health. The theme for this forum is: So, how mature are you?
The forum will be opened by Richard Royle, followed by a presentation by Tony Abbenante, and Bronwyn Taylor, focusing on measuring digital health maturity within a healthcare organisation including comparisons with international organisations. This will be followed by a reverse panel discussion on Growing pains: An executive discussion, wherein a panel of eminent experts, including Jim Birch AM, Dr Margaret Kennedy, and Tony Abbenante will be asking questions, not just answering them!
After the formal discussions, enjoy lunch and drinks in a private dining room along South Wharf, while you soak in a quintessential Melbourne experience on the big screen; the Collingwood Magpies vs Melbourne Demons footy clash!
