Carcinoid Cancer
Awareness Network and This is the first "official" announcement of the 2009 National NETS Patient Conference in New Orleans. This conference will start on Thursday evening September 24th 2009 with a short social mixer. This will have heavy munchies and will end in plenty of time for folks to get a great nights sleep or hit the night life here in NOLA. For those that were here at the Astor Crowne Plaza last time we did this (2004) you know the hotel is on the corner of Canal and Bourbon Street and it has undergone a multimillion dollar renovation in the last year. We will be having all day conferences on Friday the 25th of September and Saturday the 26th. These talks will be complete by 5 pm CST each day and this will allow you a couple of evenings to rest or to explore the city on your own. On Friday I will be planning two separate sessions in the morning in response to the wishes of the group --- session one will be just for "newbie's" and will go over the NET basics in detail. The parallel session will be for the folks who have been to previous conferences and will cover the current state of the art topics and speakers. Both groups will rejoin each other for the remainder of the conference on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. As you know my beady little brain is known to work overtime to pull off a few surprises (my version of pulling an alligator out of my hat --- Remember the pink zebra striped hat ya'all gave me at the last conference?? ---- No self-respecting alligator wants to stay in that NOLA hat!). Stay tuned for a couple of real surprises that will make this conference "the conference of the decade" to attend. Special thanks to a = couple of groups who have volunteered to sponsor this effort so far:
OCHSNER MEDICAL CENTER IN KENNER LOUISIANA THE CARCINOID AWARENESS NETWORK (CCAN) IS GOING TO HELP WITH REGISTRATION AND WILL HELP US PROVIDE THE DAY TO DAY WORKER BEES TO MAN THE REGISTRATION DESKS ETC. ANYONE ONE WHO KNOWS THESE FOLKS KNOW THAT THIS WILL MEAN THAT EVERYTHING WILL RUN SMOOTHLY. We are in the process of contacting corporate sponsors to help make this conference happen. Again -- (like the last time) breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday and the munchies at the Thursday evening mixer will be part of the registration cost (TBA). You will be on your own for dinner on Thursday (if you are still hungry - after the social event --- but if you were here last time I think that you won't be hungry) and will be on your own on Friday and Saturday for dinner. We will have to guarantee the A-C-Plaza 200 room nights on Thursday and Friday and Saturday and we will limit registration to the first 500 folks who sign up. As you know the Portland and Norfolk conferences had waiting lists so don't be a "I SHOULD OF "--- PERSON. Stay tuned for specific meeting registration information and how to sign up for room registration at the Astor Crowne Plaza. Let's all take a moment to thank the folks who are helping us do this --- the Kenner Ochsner team and the CCAN team!!! More "thank ya'alls" will be coming as I enlist more sponsors. Put this on your schedule RIGHT now---you will forget this if you = don't do it now!!!! Please pass this along to all of your support groups, on line groups (yahoo – ACOR - etc) and tell your docs and their staffs. While this is not a CME conference ---- it is perfect for the doc or office staff who wants to learn about NETS so that they can take better care OF YOU!!!!! PLUS IT IS IN NEW ORLEANS -- the most fun city in the world ----- smile -- unlike Las Vegas -- what happens in New Orleans remains buried in the swamp ---- FOREVER!
