I just registered for the conference. It looks like there will be a lot of interesting and helpful presentations, even for a longtime ostomate like me!

JimBob,

Ostomy4me53 and I are in communication. I'm still debating... Our support group in N. Va is terrific but our upcoming fair with exhibits will be rather small. One of the best things about the conference is seeing new products. With a new ileostomy, I'm no longer an old timer so am definitely considering it. Just wish my (costly) high school reunion were not the next month! And that I were still working. Those are my plans -- to work again. Wish me luck. Will study the agenda! Philly is a great city and drive-able.

You know me Jimbob! I'll be there! Traveled all over The United States to attend these. This one is 60 miles south of where I live! I wanted to get us on a very popular Philadelphia radio show, who would I contact on our end to do this? Kevin

Still debating. And still interested in the exhibits. I do wish it started a bit later in the week. Is this conference longer than usual? T-you!

Well things really start popping on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are days the exhibit hall is open. Look at the schedule, it is jam packed.

I just got around to signing up for the conference. I am most intrigued by it after hearing from you all two years ago after the last one. When I saw it was going to be so close to me (I live over the border in Delaware) I put it on my list of something I wanted to check out. My best friend has an ileostomy due to FAP and so we are going together for two of the days to check it out!
