Vendors requiring a larger space for their computers, servers etc. than can be accommodated by the participant stations' storage area must inform Elizabeth Peters at Epeters@himss.org to ensure that any need for additional space is considered as a part of the station assignment. Note that extra charges may be incurred for custom changes.
Remove all Valuables: Overnight security in the Interoperability Showcase is provided during move-in and overnight throughout the week.

Deadline: August 31, 2011
Showcase Theater Presentations: If you are participating at the Leadership level, as part of your benefit package your company/organization has one (1) twenty-five minute presentation in the Interoperability Showcase Theater to share your story of Interoperability.
Showcase Theater Schedule: The AsiaPac11 Interoperability Showcase Theater schedule will be sent out in the in mid August. Participants will be asked to confirm their presentation time via email to Elizabeth Peters at epeters@himss.org.
Submit your Speaker's Onsite Contact Information: Due August 31, 2011.
The AsiaPac11 Showcase team requests the onsite contact information for the speaker and marketing staff to coordinate the timely presentation in the Showcase Theater. We will contact the presenter the day before the presentation onsite as a courtesy.
Content & Focus: The purpose of the Showcase is to highlight the leading vendors that deliver standards-based interoperable healthcare products & services. The Showcase is not the place to sell products; that is the purpose of your booth on the AsiaPac11 Main Conference Exhibit floor. The Showcase highlights your company's activities that support product offerings of interoperability standards promoted by IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise and / or the National eHealth Transition Authority (NeHTA), not specific product functionality information.
Presentation Length: Your presentation should be no longer than 15-17 minutes which will allow 5-7 minutes of Q&A from the audience. Showcase visitors have stated that most speakers do not allow enough time for feedback & questions. Interaction is a key feature of the Showcase, and we want to accommodate the Showcase attendees' requests.
Approval Process: Due to the specific content in the Showcase Theater presentations all slide decks must be approved by the Showcase staff, or they will not be permitted on the Showcase floor. Please submit your slides to Elizabeth Peters at epeters@himss.org to be reviewed prior to Friday 9 September, 2011.
Questions? Please contact Elizabeth Peters at Epeters@himss.org if you have any additional questions.
Mandatory Staff Attendance at Showcase Exhibit / Participant Station(s): Many participants also have a booth on the AsiaPac11 Main Conference Exhibit floor in addition to their Interoperability Showcase participant station. To ensure full coverage for both the AsiaPac11 main exhibit booth and Showcase participant station, please secure one technical staff member for each Showcase participant station in which you will be demonstrating at the AsiaPac11 Interoperability Showcase.
Please do not plan to use the same resource(s) to cover exhibit floor and Showcase– Staff cannot be in two places at once. The dates and times below require staff to be onsite at your Showcase station at all times. If your Showcase station is not staffed, your company will miss being included on AisaPac11 attendee and VIP tours. Not only is this a negative event for your organization, it also negatively impacts your interoperability partners because a missing participant can impact one or more connected use cases. If your station is not staffed, changes will be made to eliminate your system from future tours during the remainder of the Showcase.
Deadline: August 31,2011
Success Story / White Paper: If you are participating at the Leadership, Implementer or Supporter level you can submit one Success Story or White Paper to distribute to Showcase attendees.
Content & Focus: The purpose of the Showcase is to highlight the leading vendors that deliver standards-based interoperable healthcare products & services and the organizations and agencies that support the industry. Because the mission of HIMSS' Interoperability Showcases is to support the general concept of health IT interoperability, the white papers / success stories from participants are not to be sales collateral and must focus on a case study or information regarding your activities that support interoperability
Approval Process: Due to the specific content in the Showcase Success Story / White Papers must be approved by the Showcase staff, or they will not be permitted on the Showcase floor. Please submit your Success Story or White Paper to Elizabeth Peters at epeters@himss.org prior to Friday, 9 August, 2011 to have all documents approved and ready for distribution at the Showcase.
Number of Handouts & Dimensions: Success Story / White Paper may be no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches as they must fit into a 9 x 12 inch holder. There is not a page count limit, but handouts must be bound in some manner (e.g. stapled, bound, etc.) so that each handout fits neatly into the holders.
Participant Print & Distribution Responsibilities: All participants are responsible for the printing, shipping and stocking of their Success Story / White Paper at the AsiaPac11 Interoperability Showcase. Please print and ship approximately 150 copies to the AsiaPac11 Conference Center. All documents will be distributed near the main Showcase reception desk. During the Showcase, please re-stock your documents periodically. Onsite printing will be available if you need to make additional copies.
