Yes, they hold this every year. The brochure for this year has not been formally mailed yet (so keep checking back to the web page every now and again, as they will update it).

I got a save-the-date in the mail a while ago, but I can't remember if its going to be November 4th or the 18th. I want to say the 18th, but don't hold me to it.

just food for thought (in case you don't know) ...
I'm not part of the minnesota clinic but...

most clinics don't do CF days anymore, those that do are for parents only. If they do allow patients they are few and encouraged to keep their distance from eachother. Also, they really may only want to support their own clinic's patients on a 'giving back to the community' day like this. I'm not sure you're from that clinic. Also all cf events have rules about cepacia patients not being in attendance.

Wallflower is correct on November the 18th being the date for this year's conference. I do attend them but try to maintain the 3 foot rule, use my Purell liberally, etc. They have the same policy as the CFF where those culturing Cepacia are not allowed to attend. It is a really informative day and I highly recommend those who can attend to do so, not sure if those outside of the MN CF Center are "allowed" to attend.

Be well all,

I went last year for the first time, and really enjoyed it. I think they tend to shift the focus from year to year on family focus (parents/families with cf kids) to adult issues. If I remember correctly, it seemed to be pretty split between parents and adult cfers. I really liked the exhibitors, so I could see what the new compressors were like and compare the new vest. It was very helpful to be able to talk to some of these people instead of staring at a web site or calling around.

We were not required to wear masks, although if you wanted to, I don't think anyone would care. It's important to be careful when going as a cfer, but there were no rouge cfers running around coughing on everyone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You can't go if you have cep, but since we all know how long it takes for cultures to show stuff sometimes, its always wise to be careful. I was a little uncomfortable with the dinner, as I felt I should have been eating behind a plastic tent least I pass a germ on, but that's me.

I plan on going again this year. I can't remember exactly what all the sessions are, but I remember that there were a few that I wanted to attend that I was bummed about because they overlapped.

I would recommend it to anyone who can go - plus its cheap to attend
