Hi Miroslav, This is a very interesting and attractive suggestion. I have looked at the ISHEP 2011 content and there is certainly a degree of overlap of interest, particular from national agencies, on which we can build. Sharing resources and sponsor input would certainly make much more sense than accidentally finding ourselves in competition.
My only concern might be, from an openEHR perspective, that we lose some clear community definition, particularly as this is a new venture for us. I am sure with careful planning and marketing, the identity of each party/conference could be maintained.
