The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) will hold their Annual Education 
Conference - June 4-6, 2004, at the Doubletree Hotel, Lloyd Center, Portland OR

Come to Portland, OR for the GIG Annual Education Conference. Enjoy the 
beautiful Rose City, during the famous Rose Festival Activities.

The conference will be a Celebration - of 30 years of service to the celiac 
community. 

This conference offers something for everyone -- structured childrens 
programs, meetings for health care providers, a class for newly diagnosed persons, 
our main program with top researchers and experts addressing a variety of 
topics, and one of the largest exhibit areas of gluten-free products and resources. 

GIG conferences are well known for offering high quality, exciting 
gluten-free meals at the conference. Think about joining us as we venture to local 
restaurants Friday to enjoy gluten-free meals - Corbetts Fish House is a special 
treat, offering a gluten-free fish-fry daily. They will prepare something very 
special for us!

The children's programs will use Celebrations as the theme of their 
educational and fun-filled programs that include trick or treating through the exhibit 
hall. This years childrens programs are planned and run by teachers with 
age-appropriate activities for the very young to teens. They will learn coping 
skills; do GF cooking, art and science projects. Childcare will be provided for 
children under age 5.


Our conference in Portland is during their fabulous Rose Festival, offering 
something for everyone…parades, street fairs and more.  The conference hotel is 
across the street from one of Portland's largest malls and convenient to the 
Max and bus system.

Transportation from Portland International Airport to downtown Portland is a 
breeze with the Airport Max Light Rail Red Line, taxis, hotel courtesy vans, 
shuttles, executive cars and rental cars.

Portland is the perfect location for a vacation. Just a few minutes to the 
coast and sea lion caves; 2 hours to Mount St Helen's (Washington's most recent 
volcano eruption); 3 hours to Seattle and some fabulous gluten free dining, 
and another 2 hours to Canada.
