I received some great information about the San Diego Conference.  I was
actually sent the brochure, but since I can send attachments I will try and
summarize.

The conference is March 27-30th at the Hilton San Diego Resort (I've been
there before and it's just beautiful) and is sponsored by Gluten-Free
Living.

Registration fee includes activities (except for an optional tour of San
Diego), all workshops, and all Meals!! Several responded that attended the
Gluten-Free Living Philadelphia Conference and said that the food was
absolutely amazing.  I can't wait!!

The speakers for this conference include the following:

  Alessio Fasano, MD, co-director, Center for Celiac Research, University
of Maryland  (I got two responses about him.  One person saying that he is
"AWESOME"  and another said that he is the man that just released the study
on Celiac!  He should be very interesting to here!

  Carol Fenster, PhD, author and expert on cooking and baking without
gluten

  Bette Hagman, originator and author of The Gluten-Free Gourmet series
of cookbooks

  Danna Korn, mother of a celiac child and author of two books on celiac
disease

   Cynthia Kupper, RD, CD, dietitian and executive director of the Gluten
Intolerance Group

   Ann Whelan, founder and editor/publisher of Gluten-Free Living.

topics include: gluten-free diet basics, raising happy, healthy gluten
free kids, baking with gf grains and loving it, positive approaches to
eat out, handling CD and IDDM, making sure your prescriptions are gluten
free, suspicious Ingredients like Vinegar and other GF mysteries.

I was told that there is information about the conference on celiac.com,
and also on the delphiforum.com discussion group.

I also received information back from one of the conference organizers,
so if you have any questions or want to register you can write her at
[log in to unmask] or call her at 1-319-895-6111

Thanks to everybody who responded! Hope to see you all in San Diego! I
can't wait.
