Add iH3 to Your SXSWh Party Plans Today
Posted by Joe Doyle at 7:02 am, February 23, 2012
It’s back, and it’s even more impressive than last year.
We took the initial iH3 offering, shook it up and screened out the boring bits, leaving pure gold. In fact, this year’s Interactive Health Happy Hour will likely be described as “the best interactive healthcare party of the year.”
With our main partner HealthTap and supporting partners iTriage and Massive Health, we plan to get you moving with:
- Live music from Texas standouts The New Maps and Neiliyo
- Texas libations from locally produced Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka, wine from the Texas Hill Country and Live Oak Beer
- TexMex appetizers
- Flipbooks for everyone!
- iTriage Big Wheel Races
- The best views of the capitol and downtown of any SXSWh party
- Only minutes from the Austin Convention Center
If you’re in healthcare, this is the party for you. Heck, even if you’re looking to do business with health ambassadors and innovative healthcare startups, be sure to add iH3 to your party plans.
RSVP today. Tell your friends. Bring your fun.
See y’all in Austin.
