EHTEL celebrates 25 years of action

EHTEL's 2024 Symposium is a particularly important gathering and an especially festive event, held during the association's 25th anniversary year. It will involve attendees in looking back and looking forward. In the digital health field, where the one constant is change, looking back at the "where" and "why" it all started from,​ is crucial for creating a better future.​

“Back to the future” is the theme of EHTEL's 25th Anniversary Symposium in 2024.

Have a look at the programme and learn who is among the first confirmed speakers.

Looking back, EHTEL members will explore their lessons learned on managing change and their deployment journeys over time. Topics to be covered include: 

• Data sharing, from silos to ecosystems
• Towards an enabling infrastructure
• From process-centred care to people-centred care. 

Looking forward towards a better digital health future, EHTEL members and friends will highlight:

• Transforming care delivery, including the use of AI
• Change management, including capacity-building
• Implementation strategies for the European Health Data Space.  

Who will be there?

Stakeholders are key to Europe's digital health transformation. Given EHTEL's diversity and range, the Symposium will offer you plenty of opportunities to mix with stakeholders from your own digital health area of work and many other areas of activity; contributors to many big impact projects and activities; longstanding, new, and potential members of EHTEL; and staff from several of the European institutions.

What's in it for you at the 2024 Symposium? 

This is your opportunity to meet up with people who were present in the early days of the birth of digital health and learn more about the past; gather together with people with high levels of expertise in the digital health field; and especially help to mature - with like-minded individuals and groups - the digital transformation activities of the future.
