Diabetes Youth Conference 2009

Invitation

Following the success of last year's conference, Diabetes Youth NZ (DYNZ) is pleased to invite you to attend our 2009 Conference and Annual General Meeting.

The Conference is to be held at the Rutherford Hotel, Nelson on Friday, 21 August 2009 through to Sunday, 23 August 2009. The middle of August may not seem not an ideal time but if it is going to be sunny anywhere in New Zealand in August, it WILL be Nelson.

We begin on Friday August 21st with our Annual General Meeting at 7pm. On Saturday we have a later start to allow visitors to experience the creative experience that is Nelsons Saturday Market.

The broad theme of the conference is "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." Many of the topics in our programme are a response to requests from attendees at our last conference. Others are reports on what's happening in the diabetes world currently. Please download the programme below for more information.

We have kept registration to a minimum to allow families to attend -$150 individual and $250 family with those registering early going in to the draw to have an individual registration refunded. Once again, we will have child care available. We especially welcome attendance by adults with Type 1 who have been there, done that. You are the inspiration that our young people (and their parents) need.

We look forward to seeing you there!
