Dear Friends,

The Virtual AD/HD Conference is Sponsored by:

Official Association Partners:

Hi, there! This is Jennifer Koretsky of the ADD Management Group. I'm a certified AD/HD coach and author of the Amazon Best Seller Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD. Most recently, I was featured on NBC's TODAY Show talking about living with and managing AD/HD.

Last year, The ADD Management Group and ADD Consults partnered to present the very first Virtual AD/HD Conference™, and it was an amazing success!

We brought together over 400 people who were eager to get the latest information and strategies for AD/HD management and interact with the top experts in the field while personally connecting with one another. We welcomed adults, parents, spouses/partners, doctors, therapists, advocates, coaches, counselors, and many more in the AD/HD community.

And we're doing it again this year!

The ADD Management Group is pleased to present the 2nd annual Virtual AD/HD Conference™--the only event where you can:

• Get all the Tools You and your Family Need to Succeed from Top Experts
• Break Out of Isolation as You Connect with Peers Who've Been or Are In Your Shoes
• Save More than $1499* by Attending from the Comfort of Your Own Home, Participating at Your Own Pace !

Testimonial: Better Than Attending a Live Conference

“The Virtual AD/HD Conference was just as good (and probably better) than attending a live conference…and I didn't have to worry about my hair or clothes! Not to mention the cost savings. It even fit my schedule!

I can't begin to tell you how many conferences I have had to cancel due to emergencies. And even if an emergency had come up, I still could have participated in this conference, thanks to the recordings.”  

Nancylynn Lockman
Kernersville, North Carolina

 

All The Benefits. None of the Hassles.

The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ is different from physical conferences and other virtual events for two significant reasons:

1. The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ cuts your costs by up to 860.9%*! You pay only the registration fee. No worries about planes, hotels, and meals. And you save about $1499* in the process. (*See "Reason Number 5" below for exact calculation.)
2. The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ is AD/HD-friendly! You can pick and choose from tons of sessions. Attend them all, or just a few—your choice! You can miss the live sessions and catch a recording later. You can participate from the comfort of your own living room, kitchen, office, or anywhere else you like. You can save a bundle of cash. And, best of all, you can sleep in your own bed at the end of the day.

 

 

Here are just a few reasons you'll want to attend:

 

Confirmed keynote speakers for the 2009 conference include:

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Daniel Amen, M.D., psychiatrist and author of books such as Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Healing ADD.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Edward "Ned" Hallowell, M.D., psychiatrist and author of books such as Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction.

Plus many more of the top authors, doctors, therapists, coaches, and leaders in the AD/HD community! You can view confirmed speakers for the 2009 conference here.

Testimonial: Information That I Can Use - Easy and Convenient

"I attended the Virtual AD/HD Conference to learn about the latest in medication and treatment options for AD/HD. There are not many resources available where I practice, and the conference gave me exposure to the leaders in the field.

It was easy and convenient to attend the conference in my own home, and it cost much less than an in-person conference. It was an excellent conference overall.”

Dr. Fred M. Bruner
Berlin, Maryland

Reason #2: Get All the Tools You Need to Succeed with AD/HD

Our expert presenters will provide you with the latest information and strategies on the most important topics in AD/HD to help you:

• Explore conventional and alternative treatments options
• Effectively parent your AD/HD kids
• Build self-esteem in kids and adults
• Discover educational success strategies for teens and college students
• Examine the unique challenges of women and girls with AD/HD
• Delve into success strategies and skills for adults
• Improve your social skills
• And so much more!

Testimonial: Well Worth the Time - Practical Without Being One-Size-Fits-All

“I work as an advocate for kids with special needs, so I’m always looking for fresh, new ideas to use in IEP meetings, etc. I had read books by many of the speakers at the Virtual AD/HD Conference™, and I was eager to hear updated information from them.

The conference offered a great variety of speakers and topics, and it was well worth the time. I learned about anxiety as a co-existing condition with AD/HD, and I also picked up some useful tips on time management. I appreciated that the speakers’ advice was practical without being one-size-fits-all.

It was great to have the recordings and handouts for the 3 months after the conference. I travel a lot, and I was able to access everything from my BlackBerry.”

Evelyn Azbell
Phillips, Wisconsin

Reason #3: Break the Bubble of Isolation and Connect With Your Peers

It doesn't matter if you're:

• An adult with AD/HD
• The parent of a child with AD/HD
• The spouse or partner of an adult with AD/HD
• A professional service provider for people with AD/HD
• Newly diagnosed with AD/HD
• An AD/HD management "pro"
• The teacher, employer, or family member of a person with AD/HD...

You WILL find other people just like you to connect with! In fact, participants in last year's event told us that one of the things they enjoyed most about the Virtual AD/HD Conference™ was the opportunity to connect, share stories, and seek out tips and advice from others who understood.

We provide community forums and chat rooms, as well as places to discuss each and every presentation with other attendees. At last year's event, a number of our speakers even joined in on the discussion forums!

 

We've taken special care to make the Virtual AD/HD Conference™ super-friendly to people with AD/HD.

All participants get:

• An interactive, participant-only website just for conference attendees, which means that everything you need to participate in the conference and connect with the community is located in one, easy-to-use online space.
• Access all 23 presentations via phone OR webcast, which means that you can participate live from anywhere in the world.
• Downloadable presentation notes and handouts submitted by each speaker, which means that you can choose to follow along while the speaker presents or review the materials later.
• Recordings of all presentations as downloadable MP3 files, which means that you don't have to attend each session in order to reap the benefits.
• Dedicated forums for each presentation, which means that you can discuss sessions with your peers to process the information and plan action steps.
• Networking sessions in live chat rooms, which means that you can casually connect with your peers from the comfort of your own home.
• Links to each speaker's website and products/services, which means that you don't have to waste time searching online to learn more about your favorite speakers and the topics they present on.
• A virtual exhibit hall of AD/HD products and services, which means that you can browse the available resources at your leisure with no pressure.

And, you'll have the opportunity to get an audio CD set of all presentations, plus printed transcripts of all sessions, which means even more AD/HD-friendly ways to engage with the presentations.

Attending a physical conference gets expensive quick! Take a look at this chart and compare. Note, the expenses listed under "Physical Conference" are actual expenses that I incurred to attend a recent conference.

	Physical Conference	Virtual AD/HD Conference™
Registration Fee	$325	$247 or $347
Air Travel	$439	n/a
Airport Parking	$90	n/a
Hotel	$592	n/a
Meals	$250	Normal cost of meals at home
Total	$1696	$247 or $347

That's a difference of up to $1499! Not to mention the stress and frustration that one usually experiences when traveling and being away from home for 3 days.

Why not save $1499? And skip the stress, too!

Testimonial: A Great Service to the Entire AD/HD Community

“The Virtual AD/HD Conference was phenomenal! I have told countless people about it.

I almost didn’t register because it wasn’t a good time financially. But I am so thankful that I did register, and that I took care of myself by spending the time listening and following the handouts! I learned so many things and now have renewed hope!" 

Suzanne Troll
Zionsville, Indiana

And just a special note to add about the cost of attending: We understand that many people are struggling in the current economy. Because of this, we are keeping registration fees at the 2008 rate. Every little bit helps!

 

One More Reason to Attend...The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ Goodie Bag!
