I know a lot of you guys are too far away and this won't apply to you, but there are some in the area and I just wanted to extend an invitation to the MidSouth Conference here in Memphis. It will be Feb 23-24 and we've got some pretty good audiology speakers lined up. Student registration is $40 individual or $30per person (group of 4+) and we would love to see some of you there.

Haha, it doesn't make quite as much sense to me either, but I like to keep the locals happy and that's been the name of the conference for 40+ years.

Get your classmates and ROAD TRIP! It's only a 10 hour drive...

 

[rEliseMe]

Yeah, but less than a month later I'll be flying to Boston, and I'm sure that'll be midterm week or something.

Yeah it's a busy time of year. Thankfully for us, it's our conference and it's run by the students so classes are cancelled those 2 days.

 

[rEliseMe]

You lucky jerk!

You lucky jerk!

It's pretty sweet. I think our attendance is around 700-800 area professionals. I'm the A/V chair this year, so I'll be running around fixing powerpoints and projectors most of the time, but I will hopefully be able to catch a few sessions. I'll definitely try to get you a copy of Luterman's handouts to email you if you'd like.

And speaking of Boston, are there plans for an SDN meetup? I'll be there Tues-Friday afternoon. Have to leave Friday for NSSLHA meeting in DC.

 

[rEliseMe]

That would be swell! Do you know what his title is?

I haven't gotten word of an SDN gathering yet. I'll be there Tuesday but I have my tattoo appointment in the afternoon and my volunteer slot is early Wednesday. Maybe we could squeeze in drinks or something during one if the other evenings?

 

[cmc271]

Yeah one of the other nights should work fine for me. I asked the student in charge of AuD programming and she didn't know Luterman's specific title off hand but said it's going to be a counseling focused session.

 

[rEliseMe]

Well, yeah. It's Luterman.
