...what does one do at a "symposium" (besides drink a bit)... is it geared toward the medical field, the patients, both???  Just curious - think I'm sold on it no matter what the topic!

cindy

I was at the last symposium in Philly in 2007.  It was worth it just for the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people from the forum!   ;D  But there was a lot of great information, too.  It's a series of workshops, Q&A sessions, presentations, etc. done by the medical community for patients.  It's a very unique experience, and was very well done.  They covered a huge range of topics, and you could pick and choose among the presentations to go to the ones relevant/interesting to you.

I wish I could confirm I'm going to Chicago, but alas - I can't yet say one way or the other.   :-\

Laughing out loud at "make your head spin".   :D

I do have a funny Chicago shopping story if anyone is in the mood for a laugh...

Go ahead Marci...we are in the community forum and my guess is we can stray a bit:-)

OK, Kate.  This is so convincing -- and Chicago is definitely my favorite northern city (Miami is in first place -- I've been in Chicago in January) count me in.

Marci,

Now you have to tell us your funny shopping story!!!

I've never been to Chicago either, but as luck would have it...my son will be graduating from boot camp around the time of the symposium anyway - in the Great Lakes area, so if I have to make an extended trip out of it, I'll just crash on Jan's couch.  Or Kate's.  Which one of you has a more comfortable couch?

Oh, I can't wait.  Starting to buy some US$$$.  I think the main reason I want to go is to actually meet everyone.

Wait!  Do I see that Phyl's getting special treatment here?  What is this another moderator's perk???  LOL

Glad to see the list of attendees so far.

How about Jim Scott? bucko? joef? Wendy? Tamara? Lacey?

There are soooo many people I want to meet, I can't even list them all  :o

Jan

PS - Lori you can crash on my couch anytime - although the kids tend to snack there, so it's probably full of crumbs and sticky stuff.  Hope you won't mind  ;D
