We're going all-out to make the 10th Anniversary Focus Conference our best yet; one that will combine a superb educational experience with an incredible entertainment experience. The finest speakers and huge doses of fun, all of which is included in a very reasonable registration fee.

Join the 25,000+ respiratory therapists and sleep technologists who have already experienced a FOCUS conference and called it "an outstanding conference" and "a super value".

For 2010, we've expanded our lecture offerings yet again, DOUBLING the amount of clinical lectures in both respiratory care and sleep medicine over all previous conferences.

In fact, there will be over 70 lectures and 4 early-bird breakfast workshops that will impart the very latest information in Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal Respiratory Care, as well as in Clinical Sleep Medicine, The Business of Sleep, Management, Patient Education, Pulmonary Function Testing, Homecare and more - a well-rounded agenda with something for everyone. All lectures will be presented by the country’s top pulmonary and sleep MD’s, and by Masters and PhD prepared Therapists and Sleep Technologists.

Respiratory Therapists and Sleep Technologists will be able to obtain 16-18 continuing education credits at this conference.

Like to Party?

The 10th Anniversary FOCUS Conference will provide fun and entertainment the likes of which have never been seen at a medical conference. The fun begins the night before the conference with our concert/dance featuring the world's most famous Beach Boys tribute band - The Landsharks - who have actually played with, and opened for, the real Beach Boys as well as Jimmy Buffett, himself. The Landsharks are an eight piece band complete with horn section, and an incredible steel drum player. Enjoy a trip back to the 60's/70's via this incredible show complete with cash bars, dance contests with prizes and of course, the hits you've been singing all of your life. It all takes place at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort Hotel the night before the conference begins and is free for all registered attendees and their families.

We'll also be holding our second 5-K Run/Walk for adults, in addition to a children's .75 mile run (for children ages 8-12) on Thursday morning, May 13th. Both of these races were a lot of fun last year (with over 200 participants), with every participant receiving a t-shirt and adults and children winning numerous prizes.

Our exhibit hall will feature 160+ medical companies and recruiters and will be a "festival" in and of itself with caricature artists, live music, roving impersonators, two incredible receptions with free Hors D'oeuvres, free beer and wine and phenomenal door prizes including a chance to win a 2010 Ford Focus automobile or $10,000 cash - your choice.

Then, join us Friday, May 14th for a hilarous evening of comedy featuring the Nurse-Anesthetist musical group The Laryngospasms, followed by the stand-up comedy of "Rodney Dangerfield" and "Joan Rivers" - A special night that is included in everyone's registration fee.

Affordability Is The Name of The Game

What makes this conference so special is the fact that this incredible program has a registration fee of only $350, the lowest fee of any such national conference and an incredible value when considering how much is included in the fee - much, much more than any other conference. As healthcare professionals receive less and less reimbursement to attend conferences, we are proud to say that every aspect of attending this conference, from the registration fee, to the airlines, to the hotel accomodations, to the entertainment, has been approached from the perspective of affordability for attendees.

So, explore the various aspects of this incredible 10th Anniversary Focus Conference. Check out the topics, the speakers, the optional workshops, the entertainment and the festivities we'll have in the exhibit hall. Register on-line via our secure on-line system or print out a registration form for yourself and your friends and join us.
In fact, bring your "significant other" for only $100 to enjoy every aspect of the conference with you (except CEUs). Department Directors may bring their significant other completely free of charge (made possible by a pool of funds contributed to by the exhibitors)

Oh, we almost forgot! Those who attended our ninth conference last year in Orlando receive $50 off their registration fee for 2010. To help Respiratory and Sleep students, we are providing a 72% discount this year, making their registration fee only $100! (and yes, students receive everything, including ceu's) so, obtain your continuing education credits and party with us this coming May 13-15, 2010 in Orlando...

It's going to be a magical conference in a magical location - See you there!
