Ticket Registration Opens: Economics of Health Content Seminar, March 20th, NYC

By Rafat Ali - Mon 25 Feb 2008 11:31 PM PST

imageTicket sales are now open for our Economics of Health Content Seminar, March 20th at the lovely new TimesCenter in NYC. EconHealth is set against the backdrop of changing economics of the health content market as health information, news and research move online and mobile, and consumer-driven health care becomes a bigger phenomenon. More in extended entry....

To provide a more intimate discussion environment, EconHealth will have a lower ticket cap than our usual conference and mixers...so go ahead and grab them now. The half-day event takes place in the afternoon.

The format is simple: one keynote Q&A and three panels. We’re excited to feature Steve Case as the keynote—the co-founder of AOL (NYSE: TWX) is chairman and CEO of Revolution LLC, parent company of Revolution Health.

Panel topics:
-- Competition for Attention: Health portals vs Portals with Health vs Oldline Publishers vs Service Providers
-- Emerging models: search engines, merging medical info with personal medical, ad networks, social media
-- Deals: Health and wellness media M&A and venture capital investments

Other confirmed speakers include:
-- Esther Dyson, EDventure
-- Marjorie Martin, GM-Health, About.com
-- Chris Schroeder, CEO and president, The HealthCentral Network
-- Benjamin Wolin, co-founder and CEO, Waterfront Media/EverydayHealth
-- Dean Stephens, president and COO, Healthline

We’re still refining the program, so send us your suggestions to me at rali AT paidcontent.org. For underwriting, please e-mail our advertising side at advertising AT contentnext.com.

Platinum sponsors: Desilva & Phillips and About.com Health.

    I have been at Webtribes since October of 2007. And although they market this “service” as being geared towards those with health issues, they allow nude pictures to be posted, dating advertisements, and other things not related to health conditions. Having AIDS, I spoke up about this, and brought it to both the mangement’s attention & the “community’s”. The result was “I” was banned, not these others using the service for anything but health SUPPORT. Their advertising and marketing is False, their commitment to those affected with health issues is False. Upholding their own TOS is FALSE. I would NOT suggest this WebTribes and their unstructured, unmaintained, false and misleading atmosphere to ANYONE!!
