South by Social Health (SXSH), a gathering of those working in healthcare and using social media, will be held on Thursday, March 11, 2010 in Austin, Texas. Here’s a description from the official site:
SXSH is a day-long international social health un-conference encompassing all aspects of healthcare. The event will have structured, previously announced presentations in the style of a TED conference, as well as an “un-conference” portion — similar to PodCamp or HealthCamp — where topics are decided by the participants. Cost to attend is $25.
