A HIMSS13 Calendar of Events

Like just about everyone else in the HealthIT world, I'll be headed off to HIMSS13 next week. There's plenty going on.  Here's just a few of the places I'll be (or which might be of interest to you).  I'll be buzzing around a number of locations, including the Interoperability Showcase, the HL7 Booth (#4235, especially 9:30 to 10:30 Tuesday the 5th -- where I'll be one of the "experts"), and of course GE's booth (#1341).  If you are trying to find me, and cannot, just shoot me an e-mail.
