Exhibition Reception

Wednesday 19 August - This is a great opportunity to meet all the other HIC delegates in a relaxed atmosphere at the start of the conference. Meet old colleagues and network with the new faces in health informatics. This is always an enjoyable event.

Gala Dinner

Thursday 20th August - Well last year it was belly dancers. This year the surprise is the location. The HIC Gala Dinner will be held in the Grand Hall of the new Parliament House. This is an imposing venue for what will be a great night of conversation, food and of course dancing.
