Thanks to the many attendees and exhibitors
who made the 9th Annual Focus Conference a
memorable and resounding success.

Make plans to join us at Disney World May 13 - 15, 2010 for our Gala 10th Anniversary Conference.

There have always been a million reasons to take your family to Disney World. Now, there are even more! Experience for yourself the Focus combination of strong academia combined with great fun - now, further enhanced by our incredible location - Disney World.

The 10th Anniversary Focus Conference will be packaged with affordability in mind and this event promises to unlock imaginations and create memories that will last forever, all with the magic that only Disney World can provide. Plan on joining us next May 13 - 15, 2010 for our 10th anniversary conference which will be held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando. Remember, there's absolutely no conference like the Focus Conference - The finest conference serving the professions of Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine

For budgeting purposes, attendees should know that our early registration fee for the 2010 conference will remain $350. "Significant others" will pay only $195 and the "significant others" of department directors will be able to attend the conference totally free of charge (made possible by a pool of funds contributed to by the exhibitors). Remember, significant others enjoy the conference and all that it offers, with their loved one (No CEU's, however). Students will also enjoy the highly discounted fee of $195 which will include CEU's.

Once again, we've secured beautiful rooms at the incredible Disney Coronado Springs Resort for only $129 per night - a bargain, since this hotel usually commands rates of $189+ per night. We also negotiated with the hotel to allow up to quad occupancy for that same $129 rate and this rate also includes pickup and return to the airport at no additional charge. We were also 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 vactation around the conference. We feel strongly that you will never be able to visit Disney World more cost effectively.

The conference will start on Thursday May 13, 2010, although there will be a special managers/educators forum on Wednesday, May 12th from 1:00pm - 6:00pm, which will be followed by a cocktail reception for department directors, their significant others and exhibitor representatives. This entire afternoon of management lectures, additional CEU's and cocktail reception will be free of charge to all department directors and school program directors registered for the full conference.

Focus will also be presenting, once again, the 6-hour Becoming an Asthma Educator program on Wednesday May 12th. This extremely popular program offers 6 additional CEU's and will be presented by two of the nation's top ashtma educators - Dr. Timothy Op't Holt and Dr. Ben Francisco.

The conference will end on Saturday afternoon May 15, 2010. The conference will be approved for 16-18 continung education credits in two different disciplines, respiratory care and sleep medicine.

Celebrate FOCUS' 10th anniversary conference featuring outstanding speakers, incredible food and drink and great entertainment. No one presents a better value in professional conferencing than FOCUS and you'll never be able to visit Walt Disney World staying at an actual Disney resort as economically as you will be able to, through Focus. Over 20,000 people have called the FOCUS Conference the "greatest conference of their careers" and an "outstanding value". See why in Orlando May 13-15, 2010
