scientific conferences for dyautonomia?

[Nicole's Mom]

I am wondering if there are ever scientific conferences for dysautonomia. I have attended such conferences for Lyme where researchers and docs present their newest knowledge to one another and lay people are also allowed to attend. At the Lyme conferences that I attended I was able to introduce myself to docs/ researchers and ask very specific questions. You can learn things that sometimes you can't find in print. Anyway- just curious. . .

I've heard that there isn't another one in the works anytime soon.

I found the conference tapes very beneficial, that's how I found Dr. Grubb

Hopefully there will be conferences again. I would love to attend a weekend conference so I could soak up lots of information, buy a tee shirt and mingle with all my dinet friends!

I believe this years was in Amsterdam and it didn't seem as good as the one last year in the Caribbean. It would be very expensive for the info you might get. Maybe next years will have better topics.
