Converge or Collide - HL7 and openEHR

"We have a dream that one day this community will rise up and live out the true meaning of our creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all health data is free for the patient."

On June 2nd and 3rd 2025, members from openEHR and HL7 communities who have been working on both FHIR and openEHR will come together for an exclusive event in Amsterdam.

"One small step for you, one giant leap for healthcare IT."

The sessions will advance discussions on how the two communities can work together to improve healthcare data exchange across the globe.

"We choose to work together, not because it is easy, but because it is hard"

The event will be interactive and action-oriented, to look at the common areas of collaboration and in view of this, will be limited to 50 places including those who are already part of the formal working groups.

Ask not, what can Health IT can do for me, but what can I do for Health IT?

If you’re already working on both openEHR and FHIR and you can be part of this collaborative effort to shape the global healthcare standards landscape, please register your interest detailing the value you can bring to this unprecedented event. In your registration, please explain why you should attend - what you have to contribute. Places are limited, so please express your interest here.

"Let there be interoperability..."

There will be a notional charge to help the organisers cover costs, however this will be kept to a minimum. We understand that there will be a lot of interest and in view of the limited numbers, a debrief on progress will be provided at the FHIR Dev days, where those who are unable to attend can catch up on the progress.

"I regret that I have but one opportunity to attend this meeting for my country."

The ticket price of 220€ includes lunch and refreshments (at the EY offices) on both days. We will also be gathering at Bar Valdi - https://barvaldi.nl/ on the evening of Monday 2 June for food and drinks. However, food and drinks there are not included in the ticket price.

Converge or Collide is an education in healthcare event and as such, is exempt from VAT.
