On behalf of the National Lymphedema Network Board of Directors, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been supporting our efforts to put together an exceptional 2020 Conference. The conference is the highlight of the year for us, where we look forward to connecting with great minds all working towards the same cause. We enjoy bringing our community together in one place and getting to know everyone on a personal level, seeing old friends, and making new ones. Nothing can replace the magic that happens we get together in person.
However, as a nonprofit dedicated to promoting health and wellness, we had to prioritize everyone’s safety by making the conference completely virtual. Although we were prepared to do everything in our power to minimize the health risk for you, we could not guarantee 100% safety. For this reason, we are bringing the same wonderful educational content to you in the comfort of your home.
We have expanded our program and we are confident you will have a unique and extraordinary virtual experience. We have added a day dedicated to honoring our sponsors. Without their support, the live as well as the virtual conference would not be possible. More than that, it is so important for you as clinicians and patients, to learn about the latest innovations and available technology and services to optimize lymphedema therapy. For these reasons and many more (some of which can only be discovered by attending), Monday 10/26/20, a day to "Meet the Sponsors" is not to be missed. We further expanded the program to include a day specifically for patients so that they can deepen their understanding of self-care and maximize control of their lymphedema. Ultimately, all of our efforts as an organization is to improve quality of life for people affected by lymphedema. We are very optimistic this program will surpass your expectations.
Because the expenses for putting on a virtual conference are not as costly as a live conference and because we recognize that many people may find themselves with limited budgets as a result of the pandemic, we will be refunding everyone who has paid for registration up to the amount of the early bird rates ($149 for NLN members and $249 for nonmembers). We hope this makes it possible for a whole lot of people to join us. Spread the word, tell your friends, your colleagues, and let's get together for an interactive and magical experience.
Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your support, it truly means so much to us.
We look forward to seeing you on screen in October.
