2018 Meet-up - Input Needed!

[Lucy5]

Thanks Theresa! Old habits die hard it would seem and I totally missed that. And btw, you are such a diplomat my friend...from what I've observed, nothing sneaks up on you

[TheresaB]

Ah, shucks Lucy. BTW, I should modify my response that the wiki can be found at the top of the page if ypu’re on a computer. If on a device, such as a phone, it’s the three lines at the top of the page.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and welcome! Still thinking through how best to share my story.

A UK based meet up would be really helpful too

Sounds like you are volunteering! Feel free to open a new topic recruiting other members in the UK to help set something up. It doesn't need to be anything grand - just meeting for lunch or coffee as a small group can be helpful. Start small and local, slowly grow as more members are able to help. There are two Bredesen trained/aware MDs in the UK that I know of. Depending on geographic location, they may be willing to speak to a small group.

Hey I would be super happy to do this! I will start a thread. If you could let me know about the two Drs I shall email them and ask if they would be happy to speak.

Drs Rangan Chatterjee and Ayan Panja. I don't have contact information or location of their practices. But I'm sure you can figure that out!

Hi everyone:

We now have 71 responses to our survey (yay!), so it seems like a good time to share those results (attached) with all of you. Please take a moment to review and share your thoughts.

In addition, since it seems from the survey that folks are interested in gathering for a learning purpose, the Conference Committee has compiled a list of relevant professional meetings taking place in the coming year or so in the US and abroad. That list appears below. If you know of any others that we could add, please share here and we will add to the list. What we are thinking is that we can piggy back onto another professional meeting in one of two ways: Either we can register to attend all or part of that meeting, OR we can organize our own parallel meeting, inviting some of the folks who are already in town at one of these conferences to come and present privately just for us.

Question: If we were to organize our OWN mini-conference, what topics would you find most compelling? Please share in comments.

Since it seems as if the largest number of survey respondents is more likely to attend a meeting in the Midwest, we are inclined to look for meetings in that area. But there is no reason that others could not organize a regional meet-up around another one of these events, even abroad, for those who live there, and then share back on the experience.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on these possibilities. Meanwhile stay tuned…

[Julie G]

Thank you for all of your hard work on this, Grace. What a wonderful list of conferences! While I'm still interested in the AAIC in Chicago, July 22-26, the Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS) in Bozeman, September 7-9 looks really good too. I worry that the AAIC will be too technical and heavily Pharma-focused for our group. Check out the AHS speaker lineup Pretty impressive! Is anyone else interested in that one?

EDIT: Confusion alert . I see the AHS website gives two different dates for this event... one July & one in September. Not sure which is correct.

[Grace]

Julie, it appears that the Sept. meeting was in 2017, while the July one is coming up in 2018. Their web site is not very clear and it's confusing.
