This being my first time attending HIMSS - I was excited to hit the show floor running with my coworker, Mackenzie Enter as she shared her previous experience at HIMSS. In the ever so changing exhibitor world, here are 3 trends we noticed during this event.
| HIMSS 2017 |
|
“ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED” Drawing in the crowds through entertainment has become a huge trend. More engaging acts by companies including magic, games, psychics, and contests – all incorporating company sales pitch into act/presentation. |

“CHALLENGE ACCEPTED” The step and fitness tracker challenges were a hit! These activities helped get people engaged and interacting with others. It also provided a kick-start to the day, friendly competition, and a great conversation starter. Fitbit prizes were available at the end of each day for participants with the most steps. Who doesn't love competition? |

“THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX” Unique, customized, and intriguing approaches to pitching company brands and stories through art and other standout features. |
