The first conference was health on September 20, 2007 in San Francisco to a sell-out crowd of 500 healthcare leaders. Future conferences are scheduled for March 2008 (San Diego) and Fall 2008 (San Francisco). In addition to conference production, the team also has Internet media properties such as  ‘The Health Care Blog’ (THCB) and is currently developing a Health 2.0 blog.
