This year, the Health 2.0 2008 conference crowd is definitively larger than last year. I was expecting also a larger exhibition as well, but in fact, the action really seems to take place in the panel discussions and meeting people and peers rather than on the demo booths. However there were some interesting demos during the panel sessions.
