Exhibiting at the Woman's Conference, Oct 2009

by Vicki Tashman

Usually when I have a booth at a conference, it's breast cancer related. Every year, we exhibit at the Young Survival Coalition's Annual conference, the Oncology Nurses Society Congress and the National Consortium of Breast Center's conference. But on October 26th and 27th, we had a booth at the Governor and First Lady's Woman's Conference held annually in Long Beach, CA. They expected a total of 25,000 people to attend the conference with headliners such as Katie Couric, Maria Shriver (our First Lady), Elizabeth Edwards and many more. We had many survivors introduce themselves at our booth and we also sold some product to raise money. I also met a number of interesting people, with a variety of organizations and companies that I thought you might be interested in.
