2020 Nursing Innovation Luncheon & Pitch Competition in collaboration with the ANA

Join HIMSS and ANA as we execute the second annual Nursing Innovation Brunch/Luncheon & NursePitch^TM competition at HIMSS Global Conference. These events will increase the nursing voice, opportunity and visibility of the nursing audience in the digital health ecosystem by holding ‘nursing led’ & ‘nursing developed’ pitch-style competitions. 

Program Overview

The ½ day nursing innovation program held in partnership with the ANA (American Nurses Association) will be an anchor attraction of the HIMSS20 Debut Square; the program will consist of a two hour pitch competition NursePitchTM  followed by brunch/luncheon for 150 people (RSVP required).
