You should check out the TEDMED 2009 conference, which I will be attending and am an advisor to, October 27-30 at the historic Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, California.
This is an engaging and thought-provoking event, bringing together top leaders and luminaries from many disciplines that intersect the fields of medicine and healthcare. My good friend, Marc Hodosh along with Richard Saul Wurman (TED founder) are re-launching TEDMED together... and if you can only attend one event a year... this is it!
