NLN conference Orlando Oct 2017
Hey all,, Just back from seeing my LE therapist and she told me that next year there will be an NLN conference in Orlando. Usually they have the conference every other year, alternating with the International Conference (in Barcelona Spain, next year), but for some reason, they have also having the NLN conference next year! And it is in Orlando,, so close to me!! She said there would be a whole day of patient focused lectures! So I'm pumped about it, even tho it is a year away, and have marked my calendar. Just wanted to give my Swell Sisters a heads-up in case they want to go too.

Thanks for the heads-up, Glennie!

Yay! Thanks for the info. I missed the NLN conference this year, but it was for a good reason: I had my lymph node transfer the day the conference started. Really looking forward to next year.

Bumping,,, Oct is not far away. Anyone thinking of going?

Another bump. the schedule is up now. Most of the patient oriented events are on Weds & Thurs, Oct 11 & 12. I'm planning on driving down on Tues,, and back on Friday after any morning events that I may want to attend.
Anyone going? Would love to meet up with you there!

On no Glennie I just saw this thread and got REALLY excited. But my brain read "next year" - as in 2018. It's unlikely I can be there this October and I'm sooooo bummed. You'll have to give us some detailed reports.
