Medinfo 2007 – A Real Australian First!

Time is getting very short to be a lucky attendee at Brisbane’s Medinfo 2007.


Medinfo 2007 will be held from August 20 - 24, 2007 at the Brisbane Convention Centre, Southbank Brisbane. Workshops and tutorials will be held on August 19 & 20 at the venue.


Medinfo has brought together experts who are leaders in the design, implementation and theory of eHealth, practitioners who can speak with the authority of experience. Importantly, by bringing these experts together in the one congress, we create the opportunity for that unique symbiosis of talent that leads to stimulation of new inspirational concepts and directions.


We have put together a full list of keynote speakers below


  • Maxwell R. Bennett AO, Professor of Neuroscience University Chair and Scientific Director Brain and Mind Research Institute University of Sydney, Australia

  • Paul Gilding, Ecos Corporation, Australia

  • Sir Muir Gray, Director of Clinical Knowledge, Process and Safety, NHS Connecting for Health England
