Awesome idea! Probably easiest at a pain conference sad to say
 
For widespread appeal, I see only ASIPP (Dallas) or SIS (New Orleans) next year. NASS annual meeting is Boston for '16.

SIS has some nice venues lined up in the coming years, SF, Chicago, San Diego.

I vote for New Orleans.

A Stim4me tirade would be entertaining after he's downed a few.:laugh:

J. No, you're the *****.
K. Follow me, on the path of the righteous.

Wonder if we could get a sponsor(s)? Maybe ampaphb can talk to his reps.

and, the more the merrier. Encourage participation in the discussions.

New Orleans Marriott
555 Canal Street
New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
 
Nice. Right in the French Quarter.

Could be trouble.

I'd say open to anyone, but feel free to invite anyone whom you think may be in a position to help make some of these great ideas/discussion reality.
 
What code can we use to bill for this peer to peer meeting?
Icd-10 must have an appropriate code as well.
A letter of medical necessity template is also appreciated.
 
I am happy to speak with my local reps.
 
Also, if you plan on attending the meeting, the Marriott is on Canal Street. There are a ton of far nicer hotels within a block or two that will be cost competitive. Hotel Montellone, the Ritz, JW Marriott, and the Windsor Court just off the top of my head. July in New Orleans is low season, so nothing will be expensive. I usually stay in the hotel where the meeting is being held out of laziness and convenience, but in this case, you can do better.

Completely agree that LV, NOLA, & S. FL are crazy places to have a July meeting. Someone should point that out to the SIS organizers. Salt Lake, Maui, Chicago, NY, SF, Seattle, Boston, etc. make a whole lot more sense.

Agree. LV, NOLA, South Florida make sense for a Spring or Fall meeting but not summer. I don't know why SIS does this.

Given the miserable sticky humid summers in the Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and South, I don't think Chicago, NYC, Boston, DC, would be good summer spots either, but fine for a spring/fall convention, just like LV, NOLA, Florida.

The only places in America with pleasant summers are the West Coast and Intermountain West, so Salt Lake, Denver, SF, Seattle, LA/San Diego would be the only good metros for a US convention in the middle of summer.

You have to figure in cost and wide-spread appeal for these annual meetings. SF is great, but there's a reason places like Orlando, etc., get scheduled more frequently.

NOLA is best available for 2016.

Will be interesting if there's less bickering after meeting someone face-to-face.

Fock that! I want to see fists thrown over extension tubing
 
Nothing a little alcohol can't fix.

Looking forward to it. This could turn out great or horrible.

"Dr. Pain Master is acutally a pretty chill guy, glad I met him vs. I was irritated by who I pictured he was, now it's confirmed. And I can picture his annoying face everytime he posts :laugh:"
