Where can you find perfect 78-degree weather with a backdrop of clear, blue
skies, the magnificent Pacific Ocean, white, sandy beaches...AND everything
you've ever wanted to know about gluten-free living -- all in one? At the
Gluten-Free Living Conference September 5, 6 & 7 in San Diego, California.
Here's what Danna Korn had to say about her home town:
"Having lived in San Diego most of my life, I can assure you September is one
of the most gorgeous months in what is already a picture-perfect city.
Gluten-free dining is a treat, with even the most trendy restaurants eager to
accommodate the gluten-free diet (not to mention the fact that Southern
Californians are healthy eaters, and a lot of what's on the menu is inherently
gluten-free).
The conference includes a gluten-free reception on Friday evening,
breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. But if you
decide to arrive early or stay on for a few days, you won't have any problem eating
out. In fact, the Hilton on MIssion Bay, where the conference is being held,
is close to downtown's famous "Gaslamp" district, which offers a myriad of
dining and entertainment options.
Whether you're a longtime fan of San Diego, or a first-time visitor,
you won't be disappointed with your visit. Hope to see you in "my" hometown in
September!"

Here are some of the things participants in our first meeting in Philadelphia
had to say about the events in that city:
It was a great weekend. We got lots of information. The food was wonderful.
The speakers were excellent. Everything went smoothly. Thanks to all who made
the conference a success. We are looking forward to another.
Your conference has inspired me to learn all I can about celiac disease and
research underway and to address my daughter's needs for the future. This made
the meeting well worthwhile.
It was an excellent effort and could not have been better managed. From mail
registration to keeping the speakers on schedule, it went like clockwork. My
only complaint was too much great food.
The Hilton Resort at 1775 Mission Bay Dr. is located on 18 lushly landscaped
