This year is going to be Epic’s 40th birthday, which they are going to celebrate with another exhilarating year of Epic UGM. The conference is going to start on Monday, the 26th of August, and will end on Thursday, the 29th of August. In the same way as previous years, the conference is going to take place in Verona Wisconsin at Epic’s campus. The event is being hosted by Epic, and executives, directors, clinical staff and others are heartily welcomed to attend it.
The theme of this year is “Summer of ‘79’”, a symbol of Epic’s first year of service, precisely 40 years ago. Attendees will be taken back into the past with the theme and décor of the conference but they will be looking into the future to know more about transformations coming to the healthcare technology industry.
