The HIC08 experience starts on Sunday morning with an outstanding selection of workshops that will enable you to learn from the experts.
Small classes and industry leading instructors give you the opportunity for a rare and valuable learning experience.
There are classes for all levels of experience, from the beginners through to experts. So recharge up your eHealth batteries with a selection of electrifying presentations.
At HIC'08 we have made available two types of workshop experience. We have our specialised 90 minute workshops and we also have two additional extended workshops, one is the Aged Care Workshop, which is a symposium running from 9:00 to 3:00 and the second is the opportunity for a tour and presentation at the Centre for Health Innovation. Both these workshops are booked separately, directly from their event web pages. You can get to these pages by clicking on the appropriate button below.
