I think this could be interesting to consider as well. It is a 
requirement for us i think to make this work for 'openEHR', since I 
think most people in the community would agree with the need for a face 
to face meeting. Having said that, I think we certainly want to have a) 
very practical workshops  and b) sessions / workshops on e-health topics 
to which openEHR is connected, e.g. 13606 convergence, decision support 
using AQL and service models for the EHR, openEHR/CDA transformation (to 
name a few).

Obviously this conference can't replace other conferences that are 
completely open in terms of what kind of models & standards underpin the 
implementations. If you think an openEHR-flavoured ISHEP conference 
would make sense, let's talk further.

Am interested in the thoughts of others on this.
