I've been kicking around the idea, as it's right close to me, but I don't have a lot of money to spread around.  We'll see -- I'd love to meet other folks dealing with Celiac though!

When I posted this bulletin, they hadn't announced the cost yet... Yikes! I am sure it is worth every penny, but my pocket book isn't too excited about it :/

Are you a CDF member? I noticed they had discounts for members.

I wonder if anyone on here has been to the conference before? It would be nice to know what to expect and if you get bang for your buck..

I think it's all lumped together :( It probably costs that much to cover the cost of the vendors and then the cost of the conference room.

$130 wouldn't be so bad if that was the only cost.. but the out-of-towners have to figure in travel costs and a place to stay. I dunno, I'm still hoping I can make it.. but it's going to be tricky!

Or wait.. do you think the vendors pay to be there?
