Thanks for posting this Lynn. It does seem to be more geared towards the professional attendee though.

Are you thinking of attending?

If Lynn can not attend would it be possible for a member of the commitee to attend?

As you say John it is geared more to the proffessional so my vote would most certainly be for one of the proffesionals who post here to attend, failing tha one of the commitee.

Yes I know it is geared for professionals but thought you folks would be interested anyway. Also many professionals look at these boards but don't actually post.

I only saw this today so will wait and find out more!! It seems to be connected to the National Keratoconus Foundation as they are donating a portion of the registration fees to them.

Lynn thanks for that! I think that it is very interesting and gives us more attention. It is a while until Jan 2007 so who knows what will happen, but a trip to LA doesn't sound bad!!! :P

How good it would be if these conferences included in their speakers list some patients' rights activists from around the world. I think that one of the forum regulars has spoken as a rights activist at conferences in another medical discipline.

If any of the committee had time to go to this next January they could indicate on their conference biog that they are involved in a KC client/patient action group and offer a session on "living with KC".
