ASAP Chiari & Syringomyelia Conference

ASAP will host our 22nd annual conference on July 21-24. The deadline to make your reservation at the Hyatt Regency Austin Texas is June 30 in order to receive the special rate of $129 (+tax) per night.

This will be my 19th year to attend and every year I learn something new. Dr. George has put together a great agenda that will cover a variety of topics. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the experts, talk to others who share your concerns and know you are not alone. Unfortunately with Chiari and syringomyelia, the patient often has to be their own advocate. The conference will help you to understand more about the disorders, the current trends in treatment and how to share that information with your medical team.

People often tell me their family just doesn’t understand but by attending the conference they will get a much clearer picture of how these disorders affect your everyday life.  So bring the family, see Austin, and find out what the ASAP Chiari and Syringomyelia Conference is all about.  I look forward to meeting you.
