CONFERENCE IN CALGARY, AUGUST 2008 The fifth annual CPCN national prostate cancer conference will be held at the Palliser hotel in Calgary, Alberta from the evening of August 3 through to noon August 5, 2008. Dr. Stephen Strum, Dr. Mark Moyad, and Dr. John Trachtenberg will be bringing you up to date on the latest advances in treatment, research, and prevention. There will be a session specifically for the spouses and sweethearts who share the effects of this disease with their loved ones. And this is only the beginning. Much more is planned, and, of course, we will be greeted and entertained with famous western hospitality. A feature of the conference will be the launch of an extensive early detection campaign entitled “Staying Alive.” With the help of CTVglobemedia, “Staying Alive” will be a nation-wide television, print, and radio blitz designed to influence men 40 and over to get a benchmark PSA test. The registration fee is $100.00 per person. The Fairmont Palliser hotel has given conference 2008 registrants a special rate of $169.00 per night + taxes. Make your Palliser reservations by calling either 1-800-688-2266 or the Fairmont Global Reservation Centre desk at 1-800-441-1414. Identify yourself as being with the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network group and/or give Reservation ID No. CPCN8 in order to qualify for the group rate. As in the past, CPCN is waiving the registration fee for one representative and partner from each support group in Canada. In addition, CPCN will cover the cost of accommodation at the Palliser for the nights of August 3 and 4 for this designated support group registrant and partner. We suggest you register early, as the number of delegates may be limited. You may register online or by post. Please see our conference registration page for more details.
