From Britt Bravo, some information about the upcoming NetSquared Conference:

The remote conference (live chat with speakers from the conference) has a couple of potentially interesting sessions for health-oriented social marketers including:
5/30 9 am (PDT) Judith Feder on “Health care and web 2.0 patient communities”
5/31 12 noon Enoch Choi of Palo Alto Medical Foundation on “Tech Tools in Medicine: Personal Health Records, Mobile Devices, Blogging,Podcasting, Health Search & Tagging @ Google Co-op”
Other sessions focus on additional ways to use technology for change, whatever the issue you are working on. I’m looking forward to seeing the reports from the sessions.
thanks for the props!
