Welcome to the 9th Annual
Focus on Critical Care Nursing Conference

We're going Walt Disney World !
Where dreams come true

There have always been a million reasons to take your family to a Disney Park. Now, there are even more! Experience for yourself the Focus combination of strong academia combined with great fun - now, further enhanced by our incredible location - Walt Disney World.

The 2009 Focus on Critical Care Nursing Conference, as usual, will be packaged with affordability in mind and this event promises to unlock imaginations and create memories that will last forever, all with the magic that only Disney World can provide. Plan on joining us next May 14 - 16, 2009 for our 9th annual conference which will be held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida. Remember, there's absolutely no conference like the Focus Conference.

For budgeting purposes, attendees should know that our early registration fee will be $375. "Significant others" will pay only $195 to come and enjoy the conference and all that it offers, with their loved one (except for CEU's).

We've secured beautiful rooms at the incredible Disney Coronado Springs Resort for only $129 per night. This rate is a bargain, since this hotel is a high-end property usually commanding rates of $200 per night. We also negotiated with the hotel to allow up to quad occupancy for that same $129 rate and this incredible rate also includes pickup and return to the airport at no additional charge. We were also able to obtain this rate for up to 3 nights before the conference starts, and for 3 days after the conference concludes, allowing you to plan a true family vacation around the conference. We feel strongly that you will never be able to visit Disney World more cost-effectively.

The conference will start on Thursday May 14, 2009 and end on Saturday afternoon May 16, 2009. The conference will be approved for 18-20 continung education credits in three different disciplines - nursing, respiratory care and sleep medicine.

Celebrate FOCUS' 9th annual conference featuring outstanding speakers, incredible food and drink and great entertainment. No one presents a better value in professional conferencing than FOCUS and you'll never be able to visit Walt Disney World, staying at an actual Disney resort, as economically as you will be able to, through Focus.

For 2009, we've expanded our offerings yet again and will feature 80 lectures (each repeated twice) and 3 early-bird breakfast workshops that will impart the very latest information in Adult and Pediatric/Neonatal ICU Nursing, Adult, Pediatric, and Neonatal Pulmonary Medicine, as well as in Sleep Medicine, Management, Patient Education, Homecare and Holistic Medicine - a well-rounded agenda with something for everyone. All lectures will be presented by the country’s top physician lecturers and by Masters and PhD prepared Nurses and Respiratory Therapists. Nurses will be able to obtain 18-20 continuing education credits at this conference.

Like to Party?

The 9th annual FOCUS Conference will provide fun and entertainment the likes of which have never been seen at a medical conference. Our exhibit hall will feature 160+ medical companies and recruiters and will be a "festival" with caricature artists, live music, fantastic receptions, a free breakfast, a free lunch and phenomenal door prizes, including a chance to win a 2009 Ford Focus automobile or $10,000 cash - your choice. We'll also be enjoying a gala evening at Epcot - and again, this special night is included in everyone's registration fee.

Affordability Is The Name of The Game

What makes this conference so special is the fact that this incredible program has a registration fee of only $375, the lowest fee of any such national conference and an incredible value when considering how much is included in the fee. We are proud to say that every aspect of attending this conference, from the registration fee, to the airlines, to the hotel accomodations, to the entertainment, has been approached from the perspective of affordability for attendees.

Explore the various aspects of this incredible conference. Check out the topics, the speakers, the optional workshops, the entertainment and the festivities we'll have in the exhibit hall. Register on-line via our secure on-line system or print out a registration form for yourself and your friends and join us. In fact, bring your "significant other" for only $195 to enjoy every aspect of the conference with you (except CEUs).

Oh, we almost forgot! Those who attended our eighth conference last year in Nashville receive $25 off their registration fee for 2009. We're going all-out to make the 9th annual Focus Conference our best yet; one that will combine a superb educational experience with an incredible entertainment experience. The finest speakers and a huge dose of fun, all of which is included in a very reasonable registration fee. Join the 12,000+ nurses, (and respiratory therapists also invited to this conference) who have already experienced a FOCUS conference and called it "an outstanding conference" and "a super value".

Over 18,000 people have called the FOCUS Conference the "greatest conference of their careers" and an "outstanding value". See why in Orlando May 14-16, 2009
