Introducing SNApp
Brand new to the Expo this year is SNApp: a 'hackathon' designed to challenge participants to develop an app using SNOMED CT. Delegates will get the chance to see the teams at work over the course of the Expo, culminating in a vote and prize award at the end of the conference.

Travelling to New Zealand to attend our conference is easy

New Zealand is approximately a 10-hour direct flight from most places in the Pacific Rim, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, the west coast of the USA and it is only a 3-hour flight for neighbouring pacific islands and the eastern seaboard of Australia. Options to fly direct to Auckland (New Zealand’s main international airport) or directly to Wellington with a new Singapore Airlines connection via Canberra commencing this September. Numerous daily flights connect Auckland and Wellington with a 1-hour flight time. Please click here for more information.

The IHTSDO seeks a proposal from a suitable organization or individual to align LOINC Parts with equivalent SNOMED CT concepts and develop new SNOMED CT content as part of the Cooperation agreement between the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO) and the Regenstrief Institute, Incorporated (RII).

Responses to this RFP should be submitted via email to rfp@ihtsdo.org with ‘Response to Provision of aligning LOINC Parts to SNOMED CT’ in the subject line. The deadline for this is Monday 26th September, 2016.
