I want to applaud Exl Pharma and WEGO Health for not hanging up on me when I answered their question, "Would you be interested in speaking at ePatient Connections 2014".

Why would they hang up you ask?

Because I replied, "I'd love to... just as long as you are good with me taking everyone in the room to task and not leaving until they understand that patients aren't marketing opportunities. People deserve better more big companies, too many glad-handing, shiny website that are designed to look like they aren't an advertisement." 

Since they didn't hang up...

I'll be a featured speaker at ePatient 2014 in Philadelphia, PA this September. My talk, 'Authentic Humanity: Why it Matters Above All Else' will kick off day one of the conference.

If companies want to be involved in our communities... I expect that they will add value and  participate.
