Those conferences seem like a nice idea.  I'm not personally interested in attending, but I enjoy reading about what was discussed after the fact.

If I remember correctly, you are a good public speaker (radio and such) & you do a lot of education/advocacy work .... maybe you should be a speaker there  ?

[eragon]

I would be happy to be a speaker, but have no idea on allergy angle iyswim.

any ideas?

[LinksEtc]

I don't know ... something you feel comfortable with and/or passionate about?  An area that you feel still has a lot of education/awareness gaps?  You probably have some different perspectives not being from the USA.  Maybe a few of your docs and/or advocate contacts would be interested in joining you.

If you do attend, let us know how everything went  .

[eragon]

have made an application!

fingers crossed!

[SilverLining]

Have you decided on a topic yet?

[Scout]

let us know.....quick flight or 4 hr drive, might be a girls get a way...

[eragon]

subject of presentation is mainly about controlling environmental allergies and impact on  food allergies, and health, growth and development for young children.
sounds a bit dry really. but if this first application doesnt fit, will give another a shot.

Maybe dry to you but you have the accent to make them listen

let us know.....quick flight or 4 hr drive, might be a girls get a way...

yep, let us know!

[twinturbo]

I don't think it's dry at all. It's parallel with current research and where it's going. I should think them fortunate to have a speaker cover this topic.

[eragon]

lets hope its the sort of stuff they are interested in.

even if I dont get this, I am hoping to go, so would LOVE to meet up with anyone from here who can get there!

Have you been to Las Vegas before?

[CMdeux]

Bit of a hike for us, but since we missed you last March and all...

[eragon]

yes, yrs ago with the kids and hubby.

I have to say my best memory of our short visit was sitting near a pool, with a very large cocktail in hand, (it had fruit in  it so  must of been one of my five fruit and veg a day )  watching my  children (who are good swimmers)  and ' may' have noticed a few rather fit young men splash around in the pool.
