eileenbunny Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't checked in. It's been a rough summer. Our conference is less than a month away. Here's an updated list of speakers and a draft of the agenda although this isn't the final yet, so I'm only posting it here and not everywhere yet. I'm pretty excited about our lineup. One note is that we will be having some program activities on Thursday which is new for us other than the registration and reception. There will be an oxygen demonstration before registration for those that would like to learn about it prior to the formal beginnings of the conference and consider signing out a tank. Also, during the reception we'll have some announcements and possibly a speaker. Check it out. Also, to the person that asked about scholarships like a month ago and I didn't respond to, yes, the deadline to apply had long since past. I'm very sorry. We generally try to award scholarships by the beginning of June at the latest so that people have plenty of time to make travel arrangements while fares are at their lowest. Here is the list of speakers we have confirmed at this point: Dr. Brian McGeeney Dr. Larry Schor Mr. Eric Diamond Ms. Valerie Nivar Mr. Mark Massullo Mr. Andrew Cleminshaw Dr. Joanna Kempner Mrs. Ginny Hall Dr. Emmanuelle Schindler Mr. Dan Ervin Mr. Bill Mingus Mr. Carey Turnbull Dr. Mark Burish Mr. Stuart Pearson Mr. Jeff Handibode Dr. Christopher Gottschalk Dr. Shivang Joshi Mr. Bob Wold Mrs. Eileen Brewer 2018 Conference Schedule - Sheet1 (3).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyLuv I am going to be sending out an email to all those who have registered for the conference in a couple of days and it will include transportation information. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to this yet. I will also be posting it on the conference page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohm Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I was pleasantly surprised to see the conference coming to Denver this year. I will be there. First timer. I have lived in Denver for 25 years and have had cluster headaches for over 35 years and I've never thought that altitude makes them worse. Just stay away from Pikes Peak.

Tweezer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I live in Denver as well. Altitude and clusters are mutually exclusive. @eileenbunny, I've never attended this conference but have attended numerous technical conferences over the years. I read over the tentative schedule. Are there descriptions of the speakers themselves and their sessions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shucks....I was hoping to drive to the top on Sunday. Throw a O2 tank the back and head up. Glad you will be attending, always good to meet another ch'r.

I can't speak for everyone else but I will be holding at least 2 "Using O2, What Works for Me" sessions. I generally cover equipment and methods that seem to work best for the majority of us. Plenty of time for Q&A and sharing experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there descriptions of the speakers themselves and their sessions? Yes, there will be a syllabus at the conference, and we've been releasing brief bios about the speakers on FB and Twitter. We're still doing them at about a pace of one a week. We are picking up the pace now as the conference gets closer. Please remember though, this isn't a technical conference. This is a patient conference. This is a space for patients, caregivers, and supporters to learn, but also a space to bond. We are not as formal as a technical conference because that isn't the right atmosphere for forming the type of family style connections that are integral to making this conference a success.

CHChris Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hello guys. I'm new here and I am going to the conference in Denver. I am also new to oxygen, and have only been using it for a few weeks, although I have had CH for 7 years. My question is about regulators. I have to use welding oxygen because my neuro won't prescribe me medical oxygen. Will I be able to use my regulator on the tanks available at the conference, or do they have different threads?

They will have a couple larger tanks that will accept welding regs. You do not need a script to buy a medical tank regulator. Even though you use welding O2 it pays to keep a medical reg around. They can be had for under 30 bucks online. I hope you'll attend one of my informal O2 sessions where such things are covered in as much detail as possible. Please check your PM's here.
