Is anyone able to attend and report back?

 

[Kate_UK]

We are enormously pleased that Dr Oystein Fluge and Professor Olav Mella will be returning to London to present at the BRMEC4 research Colloquium organised by Invest in ME on 29th May.

Dr Fluge and Professor Mella are continuing their research and will shortly begin their phase 3 multicentre clinical trial of rituximab. Both will be attending the IIMEC9 conference on 30th May.

 

[Kate_UK]

On the evening prior to the IIMEC9 conference the charity will hold its pre-conference dinner in London and this year we are very pleased to announce that Dr Nigel Speight will be our guest speaker.

Dr Speight's presentation will be on the conference DVD which the charity's trustees have decided to produce for this year's conference.

During April/May we will have an earlybird offer for the DVD.

Invest in ME have again decided to fund a DVD of the conference.

From now until the end of May 2014 - during ME Awareness Month - the charity will offer the DVD at a reduced rate.

The DVD will contain 4 discs and will be in PAL format- containing the full presentations from the 2014 conference plus plenary sessions, and the pre-conference dinner keynote speech by Dr Nigel Speight.

Interesting lineup think I will buy the dvd at 12 quid thanks for the heads up

I have sent a query about overseas (non-European) orders of the DVD, since they do not have a price listed.

 

[alex3619]

I had a reply. To Australia its fifteen pounds till the end of the month, then seventeen pounds. They are concerned that they are only making a PAL version, and so it wont run on NTSC-only players. Since many of us use a computer (and most reading this post), and most players now are dual version, I doubt this will often be a problem. Regional encoding is the only real issue, and I think its region free.

Is anyone going to this who could report back? Obviously there may be information that cannot be reported yet, as in previous years.

DVD still cheap for a couple more days http://www.investinme.eu/DVD-earlybird.html

Thanks, Kate - just ordered my copy. Glad you provided that link - I couldn't for the life of me find it by going direct to the IiME website.

Yay! "Go you Beauties, solve it." ......

It is so exciting that this is happening here in the UK! Things have to change for us soon here, and it will be thanks to people like the IiME volunteers and such dedicated doctors.

Thanks, Kate - I think that needs its own thread so that people realise. I'll start one up.
