It has been six months since the HCSM Summit in Rochester, Minnesota  hosted by the Mayo Clinic. Many of the same presenters will be in New York for the two-day Connecting Healthcare + Social Media conference (May 17-18).

If you couldn’t go to Rochester, here are the top ten reasons you should attend Connecting HCSM:

10. NYC has the subway system. Rochester has an underground mall.

9. Direct flights.

8. You can find something to do after 9pm (or 3am).

7. Your Significant Other will want to join you for a long weekend.

6. Restaurants? New York City has a slight edge over Rochester.

5. You get to see Lee Aase in shorts.

4. Which sounds better? A conference run by a guy named Ragan, or one run by a gal named Bunny?

3. Six months = six years for Social Media.

2. Ed Bennett hopes to bring Dozer.

1. Chris Boyer has had six months to practice ukulele.
