Utilizing Social Media and Open Data for Public Health Situational Awareness Forum

On July 20th, 2011 in Washington DC, the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response's Fusion Cell is sponsoring a forum on "Utilizing Social Media and Open Data for Public Health Situational Awareness."  This forum is the first in a series of innovative discussions that are sponsored by the Fusion Cell. 

This forum presents an opportunity for representatives from the private industry, government agencies, academic institutions and non-profit organizations to join together and "help identify pioneering ways to move from open source information into actual public health response -- so everyone is better informed, better prepared, and better able to respond fast to protect health and save lives."  Registration is open until July 8th, 2011.
