I know I asked this a while back, but has anyone heard anything about 3rd World Bronchiectasis Conference in DC July 12-14th? We are planning to drive from TX with all 3 kiddos and both my parents in their rv and need to make our reservations for our stops. As well as a hotel room in DC for the conference. Basically trying to turn the conference into a reason for a fun but educational road trip for our 2 older children.

In reference to the conference, are you required to registered to attend? Is there a maximum attendance allowed? Is there a syllabus or outline of the conference anywhere online for us to view? Where can we register and get any and all information in regards to this year's World Bronchiectasis Conference?

Sorry to be a broken record, and continuing to ask these questions.....we have just been try to plan this trip to DC for over a year. We would hate to miss anything. Thank you in advance for any information!!!

Had to add a picture just to make everyone smile!

If you go to

https://worldbronch.com

you will see that "Registration" is supposed to be possible. I understand, though, that the software is still being tweaked to respond correctly.

You can, however, already see the Agenda. The official conference hotel appears expensive to me. So keep us apprised please if you discover a more appropriate hotel deal. Thanks.

Since I am a nurse I am able to attend all 3 days but sadly my husband is only able to go to the patient forum on Saturday. Do you know any way he could attend all 3 days? Also, do you know any promotional discount codes? For just my registration is going to cost $250 plus all our traveling expenses. We have been trying so hard to save up for this trip with our entire family and any discounts we can find would really help. We are a family of 5 living off my husband's income and due to us being over income limit by $30 a month we do not qualify for any financial assistance for anything.

She is such a happy baby!! I hope all works out for registration. I did not know only nurses could attend all three days, but not spouses. Surely, this rule does not apply to patients/parents?
