HLAA 2011 Convention

The 2011 HLAA Convention was held in Washington, DC  from June 17 to 21, 2010.  We didn't participate this year, but got some great reports from Cheryl Heppner and Bonnie O'Leary of NVRC. So I think you'll find LOTS of interesting material here!

Because we have so many reports, we've grouped them into three categories:

One is the Workshops, which I believe is the centerpiece of a hearing loss convention. This category will also include board and members meetings, the keynote speech, and the research symposium.

The second category is the Exhibits. Cheryl and Bonnie do a great job of covering the exhibits and we have lots of detailed reports of what products and services were on display on the exhibit floor.

Finally, we have a category called "Extras and Other". I often hear from folks that the reports from Cheryl on the convention's "extracurricular activities" really make the convention come to life. Here's where you'll find reports on the convention atmosphere, travails getting here, what's in the convention bag, etc.
