iH3 at SXSWh is Back for 2013

iH3 volume 3 is just over a month away! Last year we had so much fun racing Big Wheels and chatting up the brightest minds in mobile health, patient advocacy and marketing that we plan to turn the largest gathering in healthcare up a notch for 2013. Please save the date:

iH3 – Interactive Health Happy Hour
Sunday, March 10, 2013
6-9 p.m.
HCB Health Offices

The party will happen in the same 11th floor office with open views of the capitol and downtown Austin. Light appetizers and drinks will be served, and we’re rolling out live music, improv, a photobooth, flying monkeys and much more. Full details are still being assembled, so please stay tuned.

Interested in becoming a partner?

We are accepting applications for partnership from innovative healthcare companies. Get pure VIP privileges with brand support in front of over 900 healthcare-specific game changers who are coming to SXSWh. If interested, please send me an email for a packet.

If you were at last year’s event, you will get an exclusive early-bird invite a day or two before we open up the reservations to all the traveling healthcare leaders. Last year iH3 sold out in three days, and we plan to do the same come March at SXSWh.

Follow our Twitter feed or place this blog in your RSS to keep up with details. We’re looking forward to seeing y’all in Austin!
