Pixels and Pills is pleased, once again, to be part of the amazing Social Communications & Healthcare: Case Studies and Roundtables presented by BDI.
About the Event:
When we produced our first Social Communications & Healthcare: Case Studies and Roundtables three years ago, we were one of the first conferences focused on the subject. Three years later, the topic has become main stream. So how do we continue to stay in front of the pack? – Innovation!
Innovation will be the theme of this year’s conference. We will showcase new case studies from leading healthcare brands that demonstrate how innovation and creativity are the keys to achieving business objectives through social communications. While all the content will be fresh, the conference will maintain BDI’s standard half-day, morning-only format of stimulating case studies and ground breaking roundtable discussions that will be inspiring while opening doors to valuable contacts. Our reasonably priced attendee fees also differentiate us from the long, drawn out, multi-day event that has attendees catching up on emails and calls while suffering from trade show fatigue. Our first two years sold-out with over 350 attendees each and we expect this one will as well.
BDI is also happy to announce that Pfizer is sponsoring a networking reception the night before the conference for event attendees at the Roger Smith Hotel featuring an open bar and live jazz band on the outdoor terrace overlooking midtown Manhattan.
We hope to see you on July 12th and July 13th in New York City!
