Clearwater,
Florida (September 27, 2016)—On behalf of the Soft Network Users Group, the
SNUG Executive Board, and the Annual Planning Committee, SCC Soft Computer—SNUG
2017 Diamond Sponsor—is pleased to provide this status update regarding
SNUG 2017, SNUG’s 25th annual conference, meeting, and expo.
Since
1992, SNUG has been working hand-in-hand with SCC Soft Computer to advance
healthcare IT. Throughout all of 2017, SNUG will be celebrating their 25th
anniversary and looking back over the years at how far they’ve come in a
relatively short time. We hope you can join us for SNUG’s 25th
anniversary celebration as we look back over the years and look forward to
what’s in store for the next 25 years … and beyond!
