Showcase Theater Presentations: If you are participating at the Leadership or Organizational level, as part of your benefit package your company/organization has one (1) twenty-five minute presentation in the Interoperability Showcase Theater to share your story of Interoperability.
Showcase Theater Schedule: The Interoperability Showcase Theater schedule is already created. Participants will be asked to confirm their presentation time with Sandy Vance no later than March 25..
Submit your Speaker's Onsite Contact Information: Due March 31, 2010.
The HIMSS Showcase team requests the onsite contact information for the speaker and marketing staff to coordinate the timely presentation in the Showcase Theater. Please provide the Showcase team with the cell phone numbers of these individuals by March 31, 2010. We will contact the presenter the day before the presentation onsite as a courtesy.
Content & Focus: The purpose of the Showcase is to highlight the leading vendors that deliver standards-based interoperable healthcare products & services. The Showcase is not the place to sell products; that is the purpose of your booth on the HIMSS Main Conference Exhibit floor. The Showcase highlights your company's activities that support product offerings of interoperability standards - not specific product functionality information.
Presentation Length: Your presentation should be no longer than 15-17 minutes which will allow 5-7 minutes of Q&A from the audience. Showcase visitors have stated that most speakers do not allow enough time for feedback & questions. Interaction is a key feature of the Showcase, and we want to accommodate the Showcase attendees' requests.

Mandatory Staff Attendance at Showcase Exhibit / Participant Station(s):
Many participants also have a booth on the WoHIT Main Conference Exhibit floor in addition to their Interoperability Showcase participant station. To ensure full coverage for both the eHealth Week main exhibit booth and Showcase participant station, please secure one technical staff member for each Showcase participant station in which you will be demonstrating at the WoHIT Interoperability Showcase.
Please do not plan to use the same resource(s) to cover exhibit floor and Showcase– Staff cannot be in two places at once.
The dates and times below require staff to be onsite at your Showcase station at all times. If your Showcase station is not staffed, your company will miss being included on WoHIT11 attendee and VIP tours. Not only is this a negative event for your organization, it also negatively impacts your interoperability partners because a missing participant can impact one or more connected use cases. If your station is not staffed, changes will be made to eliminate your system from future tours during the remainder of the Showcase.

How do I determine the number of participant stations my company will occupy at the Showcase?
The number and location of each Showcase station is determined in the final Use Case selection and assignment process. Your company will be contacted by the Showcase team with your final assignment and number of stations. This information will be covered in detail on the April 5 Participant call.
Success Story / White Paper: If you are participating at the Leadership, Implementer or Organizational level you can submit one Success Story or White Paper to distribute to Showcase attendees.
Content & Focus: The purpose of the Showcase is to highlight the leading vendors that deliver standards-based interoperable healthcare products & services and the organizations and agencies that support the industry. Because the mission of HIMSS Interoperability Showcases is to support the general concept of health IT interoperability, the white papers / success stories form participants are not to be sales collateral and must focus on a case study or information regarding your activities that support interoperability.
Approval Process: Due to the specific content in the Showcase, Success Story / White Papers must be approved by the Showcase staff, or they will not be permitted on the Showcase floor. Please submit your white paper or success story to Sandy Vance at svance@himss.or and allow one week for review and approval prior to your organization needing to print.
Number of Handouts & Dimensions: Success Story / White Paper may be no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches as they must fit into a 9 x 12 inch clear acrylic holder. These is not a page count limit, but handouts must be bound in some manner (e.g. stapled, bound, etc.) so that each handout fits neatly into the holders.

All documents will be distributed in clear plastic acrylic holders that will be affixed to the back of the Showcase Theater walls. Please place your materials on the appropriate wall.
