Thanks to the many attendees and exhibitors who made the
11th Annual Focus Conference such a success. Make plans
to join us at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville
May 10-12, 2012 for our 12th Annual Conference.
Remember, there's absolutely no conference like the Focus Conference
The largest and most comprehensive conference serving the professions
of Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine in the world
For budgeting purposes, attendees should know that our early registration fee for the 2012 Focus conference will remain $350 for the fourth year in a row and that once again, in 2012, the "significant others" of all attendees will be allowed to attend the conference totally free of charge (no CEU's, however). Students will enjoy the highly discounted fee of $100 to attend the full 3-day conference. (Accrediting agencies do not award CEUs to students).
We've secured beautiful rooms at the incredible Gaylord Opryland Hotel for only $149 per night - a bargain, since this hotel usually commands rates of $200 per night. We also negotiated with the hotel to allow up to quad occupancy for that same $149 rate and, we were able to obtain this rate for up to 3 nights before the conference starts, and for 3 days after the conference concludes, allowing you to plan a true family vacation around the conference, if you wish.

The main conference will start on Thursday May 10, 2012, although there will be special educational events on Wednesday, May 9th.The first will be a managers/educators forum on Wednesday from 1:00pm - 5:30pm, which will be followed by a cocktail reception for department directors, educators, their significant others and exhibitor representatives. This entire afternoon of management and education lectures, 4 CEU's and a cocktail reception will be free of charge to all department managers and educators registered for the full conference.
Focus will also be presenting, on Wednesday May 9th, the Association of Asthma Educators's 6-hour Becoming an Asthma Educator course which provides attendees with a certificate of completion and 6 AARC-approved and Nursing-approved CEUs. This course has an additional fee of $225 which includes all materials, lunch and an afternoon snack.
Additionally, on Wednesday May 9th, the American College of Chest Physicians will present their 4th annual Becoming a Sleep Educator Conference at the Focus Conference. This extremely popular program, which was sold out in 2011, is back by popular demand and will provide 7.5 additional CEU's approved for Respiratory Therapists and Nurses.
Celebrate FOCUS' 12th annual conference featuring outstanding speakers, incredible food and drink and great entertainment. The conference will end on Saturday afternoon May 12, 2012. The conference will be approved for 20-22 continung education credits in three different disciplines, respiratory care, sleep medicine and nursing.
The Focus Conference is the largest, most comprehensive meeting for Respiratory Care and Sleep Medicine in the world. No other group or association presents a better value to its attendees/exhibitors as the Focus Conference does. 35,000+ people have called the FOCUS Conference the "greatest conference of their careers" and an "outstanding value". See why in Nashville, May 10-12, 2012.
Regards and thanks again to all our supporters,
Bob Miglino RRT BSRT MPS - FOCUS Conference Chairman
