It appears to have the potential to be excellent, as previous ones have been. I thoroughly enjoyed attending one several years ago. Here's the information. You may want to consider going.

I've thought about attending, but $170 isn't cheap. Maybe I was spoiled by AARDA's free patient event. Any thoughts on if this is worth the investment?

I am doing a book signing table and am very much looking forward to this conference.

I agree about the amount, but as an FYI, because I didn't know this at first, the cost includes dinner on Friday night and lunch on Saturday.

I went to the one in 2010 and for me, it was worth it.
