Vorpalblade Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Is anyone going to the BPD conference in May??I've been looking at the information and really want to go, but can i justify the £300 cost. I would also have to take 3 unpaid days off work so that would be a loss of about £400, making it £700 cost in total.HmmmBlade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verbena Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Anyone who is able to go absolutely should. I can't stress this enough, and as Betsy said, Josh will waive the conference fee, which is a huge help. I went last year, and it was and will remain a high point and very memorable experience in my life,and I have traveled a lot. To meet so many others like ourselves, to meet people we have been posting to every day, to hear what the professionals have to say and to be able to speak to them and ask them questions directly, it is an experience you will never get anywhere else. I would come this year if I could afford airfare from the states again, but I can't. If you can go and don't, you are making a mistake and cheating yourselves.XXXAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodle Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Wow!I don't think Wakefield is too far away from South Manchester/Cheshire, so I could possibly drive up each day?? Will have a think about it.... But what fantastic news... if you are a member of BPDWorld then the fee is waived!! Rock on!!!Poodlexx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
