Please review the attached copy of our Conference Program from 2011 for an idea of the times, topics, and format of this year’s Conference. The main difference is we will be presenting on two tracks simultaneously – therapeutic and educational – with the same number of break-outs and presentations as before, or perhaps a few more. All presenters will need to discuss topics with me as soon as possible and also make sure they have their passports and send me a copy of their Curriculum Vitae or resume.
