Hi MI Coordinating Body Members,

   I am the guest blogger for this month and I want to know how many of our MI members are planning to attend the annual AADE Conference in Indianopolis this August? And if you are going to our neighboring state, what hotel do you plan on staying in?

     Thanks,

        Timi, Chair-Elect and member of Southwest MI LNG

I would recommend going on the annual meeting portion of the AADE website and plan out your conference schedule through there.  You can look at the various time slots and see what speakers will be when and where and they'll give you a summary/objectives.  As the meeting approaches, the speakers will post their power point presentations, which you will be able to print and take with you to the conference-I ususally take notes on these. Your schedule is also printable and I is helpful to have throughout the week, so you know where you're going next. We try to hit all of the after hour activities...that will give you a chance to socialize with other educators (poster session, irish coffee etc.) and have alot of fun. Wear shoes that are comfortable and stick bandaids in your purse or badge holder for possible blisters!  I learned that at my first conference....One more thing....there used to be a "First Time Attendee" portion on the conference website.  I'm not sure if it's there this year-i didn't see it, however, sometimes you'll find more info as you troll around the site.

AADE12

I am going for the very first time. Very excited! Staying at the SpringHill Suites. Unsure how I am traveling down there yet.  Would like to hear how others are traveling and  tips on how to get the most out of the entire experience.  I do not know anyone going at this time.


 Thanks, Tami

AADE12 Indy

I am staying at the Westin also. Lisa Wooden from Marshall is planning on rooming with me. I am hoping my dietician Mary Jo is also going to be able to attend.


 I did notice the photo of Nancy and Cecelia- must be from San Antonio because Nancy couldn't attend Vegas since her daughter got married around the same time.
