The gathering
What to expect
City Tour Dinners are evening gatherings hosted in cities across the country. A small group of regional healthcare IT leaders comes together over dinner for candid, off-the-record conversation with peers who understand their market — the ideas, vendors, and pressures specific to their region.
The best conversations happen over dinner, among people who get it.

Our story
Why 229?
With the first confirmed COVID-19 case on February 29th in the United States came grief, confusion, and an overwhelming burden on our healthcare system.
229 was founded on the belief that bringing health IT leaders into small, intentional conversations could carry forward the kind of innovation and collaboration that emerged in the months after February 29th — the date the name remembers.
