Hi all! Who’s all signed up? I’ll be at the University of Chicago ’s table in between sessions so stop by and say hello!
I just wanted to drop a line to let you know if you still want to go to the conference you can still register the day of the conference at the conference …here’s the address:
DONALD E. STEPHENS CONVENTION
5555 N River Rd 60018
ROSEMONT , IL CENTER
Here’s the PARKING INFORMATION off of my confirmation: The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center has updated its parking facilities. Upon arrival to the parking garage, you will be required to take a ticket to enter the parking structure. Please take this ticket and keep it in a safe place. When you check in at the Conference Registration Desk, you will receive a validated parking pass at the CCFA registration table.
I think you can still register online but I’m not too sure for how long.
I am looking forward to the sessions on new surgical techniques (Dr. Fichera), IBD Therapies for the Crohns Patient (Dr. Hanauer), Safety and Effectiveness of Medications (Dr. Sales), and To Eat or Not to Eat (Joan Kanute). There were 16 sessions to choose from and it was hard to pick out just 4! There are also session on UC and another on colon cancer too. I went to it last year, learned a ton, and it was great to meet people facing the same challenges.
There is also a great children’s program and teens program-
