This week in my life: KC Global Health Symposium

15May06

This week, Stowers and Cerner are hosting the first annual Kansas City Global Health symposium.
It should prove to be a great experience, and some fantastic speakers are coming in to talk about challenges of global health. Probably most notably, Dr. Paul Farmer is coming in from Partners in Health.

I’ve been rapidly working at throwing together a blog for conference resources. My aim is to produce a united community of Kansas City individuals across industry, and academic segments that actually uses the site and posts frequently, much like on the nextbillion.net blog. What I am afraid of is the site being completely ephemeral and people forgetting about all the great ideas and contacts they made at the symposium.

I’m meeting with a few people this week from work to talk about driving traffic to a conference’s webpage. Let’s hope it is fruitful.

Until then, please visit Kansas City Global Health symposium’s site, KCGlobalHealth.org
