Several thousand attend. However, it is quite different from the usual IT
conferences. Medical Informatics is not 'computers in medicine' but the
study and application of medical information science. IT is just a vehicle.
Many of the people who go to this conference are not technologists nor IT
personnel, but more medical information management personnel. Also, hospital
IT people don't usually attend this conference.
