Solenne Singer, marketing director, Informa said: "Highland Marketing is known for its unrivalled knowledge of healthcare, and the healthcare IT market.

"That makes it the perfect partner to collaborate with us on communicating the value of ehi LIVE in its tenth year - and to promote the ehi AWARDS as they move into their new venue.

"Each year, we aim to deliver an even better experience both for delegates and exhibitors. Highland Marketing is ideally placed to communicate our message that ehi LIVE is the seminal platform to explore and understand the impact of eHealth strategies, of changes in technology, and how the delivery of healthcare services can be improved.

"Our aim also is to provide an environment where speakers, delegates and exhibitors can learn from each other's knowledge and experience."

Mark Venables, chief executive of Highland Marketing, said: "We have been long-term supporters of both ehi LIVE and the ehi AWARDS, so we will use our range and depth of knowledge of the healthcare IT marketplace to support this engagement.

"The ehi LIVE conference has always given visitors the chance to hear about the latest in NHS and digital policy, while the exhibition has provided the chance for delegates to see the very latest innovations.

"The co-location of the awards will mean that visitors will have the opportunity to celebrate the achievements and positive results when the NHS and suppliers work together.

"As ehi LIVE celebrates its tenth anniversary, we look forward to collaborating with Informa to help it become an even more valuable venue where the healthcare IT community meet."
