Sleep 2010 in San Antonio
Wanted to give you all a head's up that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is having its annual Sleep meeting in San Antonio from June 5-9, 2010. Lots of advance notice. I hope to go. Would be good to see some familiar faces from the forum there as well.

Keep in mind that this is a medical meeting that is a heavy duty paid registration. I've attended for years because I've helped work at the American Sleep Apnea Association exhibit booth, but to fully attend can cost up to $400 (meetings and exhibits), not counting travel expenses. This annual scientific meeting of the sleep physicians and a related meeting for sleep technologists is aimed at their professional education and is not a meeting for patients in general.
Sorry to be discouraging, but I don't want anyone in the San Antonio or Texas area to think you can just walk in and see the exhibits.

Good point. Didn't think of that.

I want to go, but it is a $2000 dollar trip once everyhting is said and done. With my wife back in school I do not think it is going to happen.

I plan on being there if possible. I am a member of the AASM. I truly enjoy learning the latest developments in sleep medicine. I hope to meet you there Mike, and you too Dave.
Coming up in a couple weeks is MedTrade in Atlanta and that also has some great information shared on Sleep.

Rock, how'd you come up with the $2000 trip piece? I'd love to go to this.

My wife & I plan to go to SLEEP next year as a little vacation w/ a partial tax write off. She's never been to San Antonio, I I haven't been there since high school. SLEEP draws a relatively scientific crowd. I have enjoyed it in Seattle, Nashville, & I think once in Atlanta.
Medtrade is usually here in Atlanta, so I go most every year. Less science, more commerce, drawing every vendor in any way related to homecare. Some PAP, and also oxygen, wheelchairs, beds, adult diapers, magnet therapy, etc. it's a hoot to walk every aisle, gathering freebies. It has more of a swap meet feel than SLEEP. Last year I got about 35 free masks that I used as AWAKE door prizes, for indigent patients, etc.

$400-500 for the convention itself, $100-500 for travel expenses (depending on what kind if deal you get). at least $100 a night for room and board x4-5 days at least + spending money. $2000 dollars may be a low bid. We Rocks do like to travel in style.
