The Diabetes Insipidus
Foundation's
Third Annual Conference - Chicago, Illinois
Best Western Inn of Chicago
August 12, 2006
Come early and warm up to
Chicago! The city's average temperature in August is in the
80's.
DiF's 3rd Annual Conference
will be held August 12th in Chicago, at the Best
Western Inn of Chicago. The conference will be packed with
information, opportunities for families to meet, roundtable
discussions, and babysitting available for families with small
children during the meeting. Once again we are honored to
have Dr. Gary Robertson as the keynote speaker. Dr. Robertson
is a world-renowned expert on DI and the chair of DiF's
Scientific Advisory Committee. He is often referred to as Dr.
DI, what he doesn't know about DI isn't known anywhere.
Although meals are "on your own," we encourage conference attendees to go together to eat and continue their sharing with each other. |

Come to
Chicago!
Known as the Gem
of the Prairie, the Jewel of the Lakes, and the Windy City,
Chicago is a wonderful host city for the 3rd Annual DiF
Conference. Chicago offers so much to see and
do - you will be hard pressed to visit all that interests you and
your family. Come before and/or stay after the
conference and enjoy what Chicago has to offer. There is the
John G. Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, the Adler
Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Chicago Botanic Garden (in nearby Glencoe), the
Hancock Observatory in the John Hancock building with a view
from the 94th floor, the Museum of Science and Industry, the
Chicago Children's Museum, The Sears Tower, and much more. Of
course, no trip to Chicago is complete without a view of
beautiful Lake Michigan with restaurants, retail shops,
miniature golf, I-MAX theater, and much more. For night-life in
Chicago there is music, comedy clubs, fabulous dining, and
dance clubs.
Baseball fan?
Attend the World Champion White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers Weekend
