Weve spent the last couple of years talking about how we, as healthcare marketers, can make a difference by utilizing, and encouraging the use of (OK, maybe pushing for a little), social media in healthcare. And when it began, BDIs Social Communications and Health Roundtables were one of the first conferences that truly addressed the topic. Fast-forward three years and the conversation has become seemingly mainstream.
So whats left to talk about?
So much! That the conversation is reaching a broader audience just means that we have to work harder and innovate more to keep the lead in this space.
Heres a sampling of some of the issues theyll be addressing:
Ǭ∑ What are innovative examples that demonstrate how healthcare brands, including big pharmas, execute social strategies despite a heavily regulated environment and the lack of guidance from the FDA?
Ǭ∑ What are the best case studies that show how leading healthcare brands engage and educate consumers online?
Ǭ∑ Why are corporate social responsibility initiatives a huge opportunity for healthcare brands to embrace social media?
And some of the amazing people they’ve got on deck:
