HIMSS 13 is finally here and starts this weekend. This year’s venue is the Big Easy, New Orleans. Get ready for beignets for breakfast, gumbo for lunch, and crawfish etouffee for dinner. And in between of course you will be taking in a few educational sessions, the A-list keynoters, and more exhibitor booths than you will have time for.
