The gathering

What to expect

Meetups are informal, community gatherings that make it easy to connect with fellow healthcare technology professionals in your area. Lower-key than a summit, a Meetup is a welcoming first step into the 229 community — no agenda to prepare for, just good people and good conversation.

Come as you are. Leave with people worth knowing.

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.

In their words

What others are saying

The 229 Project CIOs was one of the most valuable connections I have made with my peers and leading technology partners. The collaboration during the onsite event was valuable, but the ongoing dialogue that continues is what is priceless.

A relaxed atmosphere where a small group of colleagues can come together to share and learn from each other. I am in contact with many of the attendees on a variety of topics we discussed. My organization will benefit from this event.
