The conference is a high-level summit meeting for physician and health system leaders and key executives in managed care organizations. Multidisciplinary teams charged with the responsibility for Internet strategy are encouraged to attend. Solo practitioners and physicians in IPAs and medical groups will also gain new insights Unlike other conferences designed for single constituencies, the Symposium is a "meeting place." It is a place to listen to other perspectives. Many diverse constituencies have a stake in monitoring the e-transformation of the American healthcare system and are encouraged to attend. As Bill Gates said, "There will only be two kinds of businesses in the future: those who are part of the Internet revolution and those who are out of business." This is a conference for the survivors.
