Exhibitor Awards
Building on tremendous success year after year, HealthAchieve’s 11th annual Exhibitors’ Awards and the 10th annual People’s Choice Award honoured the “best of the best” once again in 2011.
Sponsored by HealthAchieve Show Management in conjunction with Longwoods Publishing, these annual awards highlight excellence in exhibit space design, product display and customer relations.
A panel of judges determines the Exhibitors’ Awards, while the People’s Choice Award is presented based on the subjective assessment of delegates. The annual People’s Choice Award determines which exhibit space consumers like the best through a random survey of delegates on the exhibit floor.
This year’s exhibitor award winners are:
Best of Show : Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP)
Best Single : Keebee Play
Best Double : HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency
Best Mutiple : Stryker

The Tweet Taste of Success
HealthAchieve (or should we say #HealthAchieve) was a resounding success, both offline and online. The buzz during keynote presentations and sessions was not only heard during informal discussions amongst delegates, but also through online chat.
Those who could not attend HealthAchieve in-person were able to follow conversations through the HealthAchieve twitter profile (www.twitter.com/HealthAchieve) and by also using the #HealthAchieve hashtag.
HealthAchieve keynotes, Michael J. Fox (@realmikefox), Jeremy Gutsche (@jeremygutsche) and Sugar Sammy (@sugarsammyk) even posted personal tweets about their HealthAchieve experience. A flash meet-up event occurred after the session, Social Media: Patients are there, are you? with Health Care Social Media Canada (#hcsmca) group members, suggesting that social media’s popularity in the healthcare realm is certainly surging. And thanks to this latest event, @HealthAchieve now welcomes over 1,000 followers!
Some notable tweets from the show:
@realmikefox: About to speak at @HealthAchieve. Nice to be back in Canada where hockey is king & the syrup comes from trees
@GET_ENGAGED: Best line of the week comes from #HealthAchieve. Keynote Michael J Fox: "I'm never gonna finish this book on optimism."
@seanjmolloy: Two lasting quotes from HealthAchieve "A woman had a baby in a tree"
@realmikefox "In every bad thing there is something good" @DrAbuelaish
@tjvalen14: @realmikefox @HealthAchieve: The best lecture I have ever attended. Thanks for reminding me why I chose to do research in PD.
@pppPeanut: "WIN like you're used to it... LOSE like you enjoy it." @jeremygutsche @healthachieve
