Guest guest Posted April 15, 2000 Report Share Posted April 15, 2000 Dana, My husband, my 14 yr. old and I are planning on going to the conference in August. We haven't made any arrangements yet though. I hope we can still get reservations at the hotel. Does anyone have information on that? It would be nice if we all could somehow link up there. What do you think? Noelle in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2000 Report Share Posted April 15, 2000 I made reservations through the Hyatt website. I gave them a credit card to hold these for me @99./per night. I had tried priceline first but their web site is misleading. I clicked Schaumburg and they put me in Arlington Heights instead. My bank is disputing it for me since they charged my card. I'm bringing Ava. We'll go the weekend before and visit my parents in Park Forest and make day trips into the city to sightsee (if anyone's going early we can meet and do stuff!) and then we'll stay at the convention starting Friday and fly home from there on Sunday. Thursday the 10th is my birthday and I'll be 45! I am really looking forward to this now that I know so many of us from this list are going. I agree with Taffy, the workshops will probably be good but I am going to add a new dimension to my wonderful friendships with all of you!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2000 Report Share Posted April 15, 2000 Noelle in NY, Here is the web site for the conference: to be honest its not nearly as well linked as last years. I guess it will be clearer closer to the date.... http://www.ocfoundation.org/ocf1120a.htm Jule: I thought you were going to stay with all of us??!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just to clarify, these weren't the ONLY seminars at the conference..... I just did a search on achalasia and those are the ones that came up. There are probably hundreds of different seminars.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 My surgeon is presenting one of the sessions on manometry and A so I was happy to see her there. Reaffirms for me this is an area she knows about and is interested in. Liz > > > found in interesting though that none of the " regular " names popped up on > any of the research.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I didn't look through the schedule for the whole thing... all I did was a search on Achalasia in the " choose your seminars " part of the website. It's also possible that the " regulars " are presenting info on disorders besides just achalasia. The conference that Sandi and I attended last year covered all kinds of things esophageal.... reflux, cancer, etc. This looks like the Mother Of All Conferences..... I've been to McCormick Place for a trade show before, and if they're filling it up with Digestive Stuff, that's one HUGE conference!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi Everyone, Thanks again for all the helpful advice. I thought I'd let any one in the area know about the Lymphoma Workshop at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. It is on Oct. 7 from 9 to 2:30. The conference chairs are Leo Gordon, MD from Northwestern Hosp. and , MD from Rush Medical Center. It is sponsered by the Lymphoma Research Foundation so you can find out more info by going to their website. I can give you the tel# if you need it.
