Official Convention Information

The Organization for Understanding Cluster Headaches formally welcomes you to join them at their 2005 National Convention in Dallas, Texas. This years gathering will be held July 15-17th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in North Dallas.
Crowne Plaza Hotel
NORTH DALLAS-ADDISON
14315 MIDWAY ROAD
ADDISON, TX 75001
UNITED STATES
Tel: 1-972-9808877
Fax: 1-972-9912740
Email: reservations@cpaddison.com
Check-In Time: 3:00 PM
Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM
You may now begin calling to set your reservations. I will have the Online reservation code by this Monday, so if you are going to reserve your room on line, please wait until then so OUCH will receive "credit" for the reservation.
The number for reservations is:
1-800-377-9778
To get the contracted room rates you MUST specify that you are with the O.U.C.H. Group.
The room rates are as follows:
A Standard room (Deluxe) with a King or two Double beds is $69.00 per night.
A Executive King or Double is $89.00 per night.
There is no contracted rate for suites.
This is what the rooms are like at the Crowne Plaza...very posh, very very posh...the hotel is currently undergoing a 6 million dollar renovation that will be completed 3 months before we arrive!!
There are limited smoking rooms under NORMAL circumstances...however, I have been assured that anyone who wants a smoking room will have one. I would STILL recommend booking early if you want your exact preferences in room choices.
Internet access (T-1 line) is extra in your room at a cost of $9.95 for a 24 hour period. I tried to negotiate that cost away, but no luck. Believe me, the hotel is more than making up for it in meeting rooms and our hospitality suite.
HOWEVER, if you have wireless capability on your laptop internet access is FREE in all the public areas of the hotel AND they have a business center with internet access, as well.
I am sure there will be many questions. Post them here. If you have ANY problems with setting a reservation contact me immediately.
See Y'all in Dallas!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Couple of questions here:
What is the registration fee, how do you register, and what is the fee for?
If your bringing a friend, do they have to pay the registration fee too?
This is my first convention, I have looked back on the pics of the old ones, but what will be happening at this one? Will there be speakers? Or is this just a big party? Im just curious.
I just booked my flight today.
Thanks-
Beth

I was wondering about the registration fee too? (does it include a steak dinner???  ) And like Beth, if I bring a guest, do I pay a second registration fee...?
Thanks DD...

Due to unforseen events this past weekend, I was unable to get the website posted for convention registration.
I will answer all questions this evening when I return home from work and try to get the registration information posted.
And it is Texas Style BBQ not steak....lol!!
I will post the menu as well.
Sorry for the delays folks.
I will do better.

Hey Redneck? I've got 12 E-tanks being delivered on Wed. Morning in Dallas, with one regulator. I'll be bringing my reg. and Mike (Gator) said he'll bring one. Just want to remind you to be bringing the 02 you talked about. 
I think between us, we'll have enough for everyone.

The meet and greet is all day Friday, in the hospitality room, and the bar, and probably on the patio by the pool. Just stop by the registration table for your name tag from OUCH.

Trust me on this one. If you get to the correct Hotel...There should be no way you can miss any of us.
Look for a long-haired guy with a LOT of Tats, a bald-headed guy with a zipper on the side, some 02 tanks scattered around & a group of people standing around talking and laughing.
