Kai Heitmann, who is the HL7 International Representative to the Board of Directors, reported this morning on the attendance mix at the September 2008 HL7 Working Group Meeting (WGM). Given that this meeting is the “international meeting” for the year and also Annual Plenary session, it is no surprise that the mix of US and international attendance is different than a typical WGM.
However, the numbers were pretty stunning in terms of the international attendance amongst the approximately 530 attendees: 44% of attendees are non-US. The break down (in attendee count)
- 100 from Canada
- 29 from UK
- 17 from Japan
- 15 from Australia
- 12 from Germany
- 11 from Korea
- 7 from France
- 5 from Switzerland
