Just register for the one you are most likely to attend - registrations are transferable Aloha, just a short reminder that there is not much time left to submit an abstract to this years' main Medicine 2.0'14 congresses. The conference series is now in its 7th year, and will for the first time in two attractive venues: Medicine 2.0 Maui/Hawaii, USA (Sheraton Maui Resort (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2014/content/venue) ) , and Medicine 2.0 Europe Malaga/Spain (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2014b/schedConf/cfp) (for venue see http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2014b/content/venue ). Once again we expect around 500 mhealth/ehealth researchers and developers at each conference. Medicine 2.0 is a "bottom-up" conference, with no invited "stars" - in order to present, you have to submit an abstract/speaker/panel proposal. To get inspired, browse last years' presentation abstracts (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2013/schedConf/presentations) , or review speaker bios (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/index.php/med/med2013/social/attendees) of the 2013 congress, or download last years' program (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/public/conferences/med20/schedConfs/med2013/med2schedule2013.pdf) . Once again, there will be a startup competition, and several awards, including the IMIA Medicine 2.0 award, JMIR Medicine 2.0 Award, and iMedicalApps Medicine 2.0 Award.
