Gator CH.com Alumnus New Board Hall of Famer     Gender: Posts: 4556 Urgent Convention Update! « on: May 4th, 2008, 11:43pm » Quote Modify !!! Reserve Your Rooms Early !!!   OUCH has reserved a block of rooms for convention attendees at the special rate of $115 per night.     This rate is good until June 19th or until all reserved rooms have been taken, whichever comes first. After that, the regular rate of $199 will apply.   On or about May 30, 2008, OUCH will be mailing out invitations to     medical personnel in Dallas and the surrounding areas!     With Professor Peter Goadsby as our guest lecturer, there is a good chance that attendance for this convention will be high.  We urge all our members who wish to attend to get your hotel reservations made as soon as possible to assure you can get the special rate of $115 per night.             You can make your reservations online at the Convention Hotel webpage:   .     http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/DFWSHES-OUC-20 080707/index.jhtml     .     or make your reservation by phone by calling 972-313-8001 and using reservation code OUC.         ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------   For more information about this year's convention, check out:   http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings/dalcon08/08dalcon.htm     If you have any questions about the convention, please e-mail them to convention@ouch-us.org         IP Logged

Still and all, if you find yourself headed to the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, let me know.........a Meet n Greet is ALWAYS an option!

Why is it in Dallas AGAIN? Can't we ever have one centrally located in the midwest? It would make it easier on some who have a hard time getting to the coastal states.     Carl, there were two bids for this year's convention:  Portland, Oregon and Dallas, Texas.  The Portland bid was pulled, leaving Dallas.  Soooo...Look out Dallas here we come!   When someone in the Midwest submits a serious bid and agrees to do the local legwork necessary to hold a convention, then the Midwest will be considered for a convention.     Want to host a convention?   Since we're on the subject, OUCH's 10th Anniversary is next year.  It's well beyond time to start thinking about next year's convention.     If you are interested in hosting a convention, check out the Conventions & Gatherings page on the OUCH website:   http://www.ouch-us.org/gatherings.htm   There are two documents on this page that will help in making a bid for a convention.   One of the things OUCH looks at when choosing a site is how easy it is for people to get there.  Cities with International Hub Airports are the best choice as it is usually easier and cheaper to get there.  It also helps with getting quality speakers in for the convention.   The availability of an airport shuttle is another consideration.  Taxis are expensive and an airport run from the hotel to the airport and back in a big city could take hour or more depending on where the hotel is and the time of day.     There is more info on the Convention page.  Check it out.  If you have questions about hosting a convention, e-mail us at convention@ouch-us.org   IP Logged
