Doctor Eugene A. Woltering, the Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Network (CCAN) and the entire New Orleans Neuroendocrine Tumor Specialists (NOLANETS) team at Ochsner in Kenner LA are happy to announce the dates for the 2012 National Carcinoid-NETS conference. The conference will be held at the ASTOR CROWNE PLAZA at the corner of Bourbon Street and Canal Street in the heart of the French Quarter. We believe that the room cost will be $149.00/night, a real value for a hotel room in the “Quarter.” Our preliminary plans are to maintain the same format as the past New Orleans conferences.

On Thursday evening September 20^th 2012 we will have our traditional social event featuring Dr Woltering leading everyone in a “second line.” This social event will start at 6:30 PM CST and will go until about 10:00 PM

On Friday and Saturday September 21^st and 22^nd 2012 we will have breakfast from 7:30 AM until 8:00AM and then lectures from 8:00AM until 5:00 PM each day with enough break time so that everyone is not worn out. I am not sure that we will have tow simultaneous sessions in the morning like last time….people had lots of mixed feelings on separating the group into different sessions.

Like always---- we learn from doing these conferences. We welcome your suggestions about what you liked and disliked at the last conference. Please feel free to send me speaker/conference suggestions at ewolte@lsuhsc.edu.

The cost of the conference registration fees have not been worked out, but everyone who has attended our other NOLA conferences have remarked on the inexpensive nature of the registration fees when compared to the number of speakers, free meals and morning/afternoon snacks.

We are hoping that “all ya all” come on down and party with Doc W. and the rest of the New Orleans team. The hotel is beautiful, the food is fabulous and the meeting will provide you with loads of information.
