Web 2.0 and Health Marketing: An Online Dialogue

Want to learn more about Web 2.0 applications in public health? How are people using social network sites, blogs, mobile and virtual worlds (among other things) to engage people and improve health? Join over 160 (so far) of your colleagues and an expert panel for a day of online discussions Tuesday, 16 September 2008 between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. ET. Registration is free. It’s a pretty good mix of people right now, strongly practice-oriented, from government agencies, academia, nonprofit organizations and private sector groups. The Web Dialogue will provide us with the opportunity to discuss how these tools can expand the reach and impact of health information with the public, and to hear from our colleagues and peers about their experiences.

Plan to join the Web Dialogue by registering at Web 2.0 and Health Marketing in advance. Add this event to your calendar and share with colleagues. The session will last all day, but registered participants can log on and log off multiple times as their schedules permit.

The agenda is open so resist the urge to lurk - engage. Let’s aim for better than 1%.
