HIMSS Will Sell its Annual Conference
London-based B2B publishing and events firm Informa announces its exclusivity to acquire the HIMSS Global Health Exhibition and Conference in its six-month financial report.
HIMSS has not commented on the news.

As a professional group I wonder if there was any board consultation? As a member, CIO, and Fellow I haven’t felt like I’ve had input on how this ship is steered in a long time, despite providing regular feedback.
Thankfully Boards are always a part of the decision process for all kinds of organizations. I’ve been on many boards and a decision like this would take approval. Recommend learning more about org structures—Members in associations don’t typically vote on fiduciary motions.
