Why Should you Attend the Summit?

• At DSI’s DoD/VA and Gov. HIT Summit, we provide a forum for representatives from the DoD, VA, Government Agencies, academia, and private industry the opportunity to detail their organization’s efforts to advance the Federal health IT ecosystem through innovative IT solutions, strategy, and capabilities.

• Efforts across the Federal Government, Military Services, and industry have aimed to deliver an integrated health care system that enhances force readiness, improves health outcomes and delivery of care, and lowers the overall cost of delivering high-quality healthcare. At the DoD/VA and Gov. HIT Summit, you will have the opportunity to hear directly from and network with the senior leaders and relevant stakeholders tasked with making this vision a reality.

• Learn, share, and connect with our invited speakers and delegates, as our forum will provide a unique viewpoint into the senior-led efforts to deliver a modern healthcare system that enables rapid decision-making and innovation, to include the opportunities and challenges associated with shaping the future of health & healthcare delivery for the MHS.

• DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our summit's content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from Senior Healthcare leaders, the IT Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from industry and academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.

Operating Guidance for Government Attendees

• DSI’s Symposium directly supports DoD, VA, and Federal Health priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department’s mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

• DSI’s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD, VA and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
