Carpe diem – continue the conversation
Many of our invited guests know each other…but CalConnect doesn’t really know you, and you don’t really know CalConnect.
Talk to those you do not yet know during breaks, during the reception
Help CalConnect understand needs and requirements w.r.t to the many, many different facets of healthcare scheduling
Let CalConnect help you understand open C&S standards
