2008 Breast Cancer Symposium in Wash, DC in Sept

[RobinP]

Anyone have information on this conference or been to it in the past?

PS HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Robin,

This is the second year of the Asco Breast Cancer Conference. We attended last year in San Francisco and it was interesting and worthwhile.

Apparently the Annual ASCO Meeting has grown too large to be managable with over 38,000 attending so the organization opted for a seperate breast cancer event.

More info is available at:

The HER2 Support Group intends to attend this meeting and may be exhibitors as well.

Regards
Joe

Thanks, Joe, I may get to that conference since it's close to where I grew up in Maryland.

I have a friend in Maryland that would be happy to put me up if I'm up to traveling. I sure hope I can go. Thanks for the info.

Joe,
Please let me know if I can be of any help. I live in the Metro D.C. area and would love to pitch in.
