With more than 50 million impressions, 2,200 Tweets per hour by the middle of day three and 79,574 total Tweets by the last day (a new social media record for the conference), attendees at 2015 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition were all a-twitter on Twitter about what the conference had to offer, from keynote speaker George W. Bush to a crowded exhibition hall to long lines for caffeine.

HIMSS15 ran from April 12 through April 16, and below, we compiled the most intriguing, thought-provoking and funny Tweets from the event's 43,000-plus health IT enthusiasts.

As the conference kicked off, one of last year's keynoters was in the news...


Then there were red noses from opening keynote speaker Alex Gourlay...

... and HIT social media influencers clowned around before the Healthcare Social Media Influencer Meetup later in the week.

 

On Day Two, the massive Exhibit Hall opened.

There was news on wearables...

...and big data analytics...

... and interoperability and security...

... and providers' top priorities...

... and CIOs' top priorities.

On day four, former President George W. Bush spoke on health IT.


P.S. It took a lot of caffeine to fuel all those people.


Until next year, embrace the #HIMSSanity.
