Gibson Consultants to Sponsor HIMSS10 Health IT Venture Fair

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Gibson Consultants, an executive search firm targeting healthcare IT vendors, will be one of four Investor's Circle Sponsors at the HIMSS10 Health IT Venture Fair. Healthcare IT continues to grow in importance as the country's healthcare system moves toward an electronic environment for the administration and provision of care. Much of its innovation comes from companies financed by venture capital firms.

According to Deborah Caruso, Senior Manager, Corporate Relations, HIMSS, "The Venture Fair will bring together early stage entrepreneurs and healthcare IT investors. It will be a rare opportunity for these executives to tell their story to the investors as well as to get real-world advice from industry experts. The panelists on the Building Your Health IT Business segment will share their insights on several topics including raising capital, strategic partnerships, and building a winning team."

Jim Gibson has been actively involved with the Venture Fair organizing committee. He will once again focus on building winning teams as a panelist during the Building Your Health IT Business session.

"While we're looking forward to the annual HIMSS conference, it's especially exciting to be involved again with the Health IT Venture Fair. Healthcare IT is a dynamic field and the Venture Fair represents a key aspect, bringing together tomorrow's ideas and companies with those who will fund them," said Jim Gibson, President of Gibson Consultants.

In its fourth year, the Health IT Venture Fair will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta on Sunday, February 28, 2010, the day before the opening of HIMSS10.
