Figured it's time to come out with this, since some of you are making travel plans.  There will be Clusterbusters convention this July, in Chicago. It will be held following the OUCH convention in Milwaukee, on July 15, 16 17th. The details are still being worked out, but it will be held here:
http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/CHIHR');
Room rates are still being negotiated. Speakers will include Dr Andrew Sewell and Dr John Halpern from Harvard McLean.
For those planning to attend the OUCH convention in Milwaukee... there will be a discount on the registration fee. I promise I will keep you posted on details as they become available. We could also use a little help. If you're interested, please PM me.
This July is going to go down in history for me.

I suspect Dr Sewell will share stats on the case histories, and the progress of the study. Hallucinogenic treatments have been getting more media time, too. I'm sure there's more and I'm sure someone will come along and fill us in on the rest.

Will await further details.

Please don't look at "those" rates. They will be significantly reduced. I expect to have numbers in a couple days and there will be a link to the conference rates for reservations.

So the cluster busters convention is "It will be held following the OUCH convention in Milwaukee, on July 15, 16 17th." But according to my records that is not following the OUCH convention it is in direct conflict with it. The ouch convention is July 13-16. Am I wrong in the fact that there is a conflict here?

Not really a conflict, Karla. More of an overlap. Drs Sewell and Halpern are speaking at OUCH on Sat. I plan on leaving for Chicago on Sunday, after I check out of the hotel in Milwaukee. Sunday's OUCH activities are social, and (I'm guessing) that most of the attendees will check out and leave on Sunday. The major CB events will not start until at least Sunday afternoon.
OUCH July 14, 15 and 16th
CB July 15, 16, 17th

I was just wondering if I could call my boss on Sunday afternoon from Chicago airport and tell him that they canceled my flight, so had to stay over another day. You know, play on his sympathies like "no hotel rooms - gonna sleep in the terminal - oh woe is me stuff". I'll have to give that some creative thought
