Working face-to-face or online isn’t an either-or proposition any more. Progress is about harnessing the power of everyone no matter where they are.
That’s why we’ll bring the power of MedCityNews.com’s online audience to our CONVERGE conference this year. If you aren’t able to come to CONVERGE on Tuesday and Wednesday in Philadelphia, come back to MedCityNews.com throughout both days as we’ll broadcast portions of the conference live on the site.
It’s one of the unique opportunities MedCityNews.com can deliver for healthcare’s business leaders: gather an amazing audience of innovators in real time, while amplifying their ideas and influence through our readership.
We’ve created special posts for the live broadcasts each day. You can also come to the front of the MedCityNews.com and click on the featured post that day, which will take you to the live broadcasts.
Review the schedule below (all times are Eastern Standard). I look forward to connecting with you – online and in real time – at CONVERGE.
Here is Tuesday’s CONVERGE Live lineup:

A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
