HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 21, 2013 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Ok so how many of you have attended the HLAA convention? If not have you thought about going? do you even know what convention I am talking about? I have not been but would love to go to the next one which I think is in texas next time.

Leblisa Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 There's some big hearing-relatec conference going on this weekend relatively near me: Boston. It seems you could not go for just one day but rather had a choice of paying for either 2 or 3 days - so I couldn't go but I think I will definitely plan on it for next year if it's in Boston again. I'm not sure if it's an annual Boston one or not. I did see that MedEl was one of the sponsors. To answer your question: yes! I would definitely love to go to one next year. By then I'll have the CI working for me and I would love to meet other CI folks, learn about new available technology, see what's going on that I have no idea about right now. I would not fly to Texas to do it though; I'd wait until it was in the Northeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leblisa Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Oh, it was the Northeast Cochlear Implant Convention (NECI) that was in Boston this past weekend. Hmmmm, maybe I will save my $$ and consider a trip to Austin. I've always heard it's the best city in Texas - is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpl2ci Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Lisa and Adam, Austin has a great slogan, keep Austin weird. It is a great place, lots to see, eat, drink, etc. .... I went to HLAA in Portland, OR this past June and will hopefully be going to next year's one in Austin. Manchester, Boston and Charleston are all served by Southwest. If I go I will probably drive.
