Who’s Going To Symposium In November?

Liz, I am planning to go…haven’t yet sent in my registration. I will be recuperating from SCT at my sister’s in Downingtown, so I will be nearby. Are you attending all of the sessions? I think I will only register for the afternoon activities.

one of these years I will get to attend and give ya all the hugs I have been saving and sending here in the forum!

I am hoping to go. I am starting a new job and don’t know if I will be able to afford to go yet. I know the deadline is coming up, so I need to make a decision soon.

Carolyn and I are planning on trying again. The last time we tried Carolyn had a side unplanned trip to the Eglin Medical Hobby Shop.

Hey Liz

Sounds great. I would love to go but I dont have the dough. Driving to Pennsylvania might be dodgy as well.

Gee ~ I wish I could but I can’t. Have fun and take pics for us.

Would love to attend if I had financial ability to go

My husband and I are going. We live in Maryland so it is not too far. Hope to see how other people manage to get along. See you there.

Yes we are going and excited.We hope to meet alot of people there.We are also going to try to do the walk.Many blessings to all.

I would love to go its not that far, however I moved to a nicer area & home in jan. just don’t have the $$’s this year. Went to symposiam in 2008. Had lots of fun & learned alot. Hoping to go in 2012.

We are Planning on attending. All day Friday and Saturday. 🙂

Made one phone call to the hosting hotel and they told me full. No reduced rate rooms or even other.
used the conference code and named GBS/CIDP Foundation Int’l.
went online and booked, made a mistake, then called em back. Then all of a sudden they had rooms
blocked out still for $109. Goes to show you, one person one result, another person another result.

As of 9:30 pm PST on October 5th, both Dolce Valley Forge’s website and reversation agent indicated that no rooms are available. Apparently the hold date for the symposium had already past. I have asked the Foundation to recommend another hotel nearby.

I had planned to attend, but it looks like I am recovering from my stem cell transplant much more quickly than I thought, so I will be leaving my sister’s (in Downingtown…very close to King of Prussia) in a week and a half or so. I am sorry that I will miss this event, as I believe that my experience with SCT could contribute to the dialogue and information sharing.

Check with the Dolce first to see if there have been any cancellations.

That’s a bummer about the hotel.
It’s nice to stay at the place where the dinner is
And not having to travel down the street.
Especially those of us that aren’t moving so well.
I remember last symp, it took slot of energy just to navigate the hotel. This may discourage attendance.
I know I was upset when I was told no rooms the first time and wasn’t gonna stay but rather drive home

I am registered. Is it really worth going though if it is a 12 hour drive??? The last time I flew, this cidp got worse. Having second thoughts- concerned I might be disappointed???

Yikes,
I am not sure I would drive even 10 hours for a vacation. thats far.

Sometimes the folks that do go, summarize the discussion and topics.
On the last symposium, I really didn’t learn alot that I didn’t know or learn from here. It was somewhat just nice to hear the different treatment opinions
and meet others with the same ailment. Good luck on your decision.

[B][SIZE=3]As of Oct. 21, 2010 our 11th International Symposium is completely sold out. Registration received after this date will be returned. Please note we will not be able to accommodate walk-in registrations.
