The Alabama HLA Winter Conference 2025, held March 4-7 at the Hyatt Regency in Birmingham, was an incredible event filled with valuable insights, networking opportunities, and important discussions on the future of healthcare leadership and IT security.
Lisa Beard and the Alabama HLA team put together a fantastic conference, bringing together healthcare leaders from across the region. Stringfellow Technology Group had a strong presence at the event, with Edward Stringfellow delivering a compelling talk on “Anatomy of a CyberAttack.” His session walked attendees through the stages of a cyberattack, the tactics bad actors use, and how healthcare organizations can strengthen their defenses against these growing threats. Here is a video of that presentation for anyone not able to attend:

The conference provided an excellent opportunity to connect with practice administrators, operations leaders, and executives who are navigating the complexities of healthcare IT.
