I have been to 2 of these meetings and they were both great. Plus they give you lunch AND free stuff too.
I will be in Denver this weekend - too bad it's 2 weeks too early!

Any near Ohio? Michigan? I'm from Rossford Ohio (near Toledo) would love to go to one of these meetings. I enjoy meeting other people in my situation and learing more about dialysis and reanal issues. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget the IHD meeting in Chicago. It should be both informative and entertaining.

I went to one a couple of years ago and even won a $25 Shell gas card (which would buy about 1/2 a gallon of gas today).  I'll be at the one in Torrance on 8/24.
