We're going all-out to make the 8th annual Focus Conference our best yet; one that will combine a superb educational experience with an incredible entertainment experience. The finest speakers and a huge dose of fun, all of which is included in a very reasonable registration fee.

Join the 12,000+ therapists, sleep technologists and nurses who have already experienced a FOCUS conference and called it "an outstanding conference" and "a super value".

For 2008, we've expanded our offerings yet again and will feature 72 lectures and 5 early-bird breakfast workshops that will impart the very latest information in Adult, Pediatric, and Neonatal Pulmonary Medicine, as well as in Sleep Medicine, Management, Patient Education, Adult ICU Nursing, Pediatric/Neonatal ICU Nursing, Homecare and Holistic Medicine - 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, Nurses and Sleep Techs. Respiratory Therapists, Sleep Technologists and Nurses will all be able to obtain 18-20 continuing education credits at this conference. The AARC Approval number for this conference is 280987000.

Like to Party?

The 8th annual FOCUS Conference will provide fun and entertainment the likes of which have never been seen at a medical conference. Our exhibit hall will feature 150+ medical companies and recruiters and will be a "festival" with caricature artists, live music, a fantastic opening reception, a free breakfast, a free lunch and a second reception with free food, drink and phenomenal door prizes including a chance to win a 2008 Ford Focus car or $10,000 cash - your choice. Then, join us Friday evening, April 11th for a gala evening at the world famous Grand Ole' Opry! We've procured excellent seats for all attendees - and again, this special night 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 $325, the lowest fee of any such national conference and an incredible value when considering how much is included in the fee. 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.

Explore the various aspects of this incredible 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 $175 to enjoy every aspect of the conference with you (except CEUs). Nashville is a great city, one that's fun and very affordable.

Oh, we almost forgot! Those who attended our seventh conference last year in Nashville receive $50 off their registration fee for 2008. To help Respiratory, Nursing and Sleep students, we are providing a discount this year, making their registration fee only $175!!! (and yes, students receive everything, including ceu's) So, obtain your continuing education credits and party with us this coming April 10-12, 2008 in Nashville... See you there!
