suzieq10279, I don't see why not. I think when you register your name you can note that another person will be attending. When I went to see my endocrinologist in October he showed me the flyer about the conference and said that if I knew of anyone who may be interested to pass the information along. Maybe you could make sure by contacting Marylin Armento, her address is right above.

Hi Susieq, Like @mariagiusi said, you can register multiple people when you click the signup button. People are encouraged to bring a family member, caregiver or friend. Two set of ears means double the memory and you can discuss the conference afterwards. I'm wondering how old your daughter is. If she is a child, then I might consider contacting Marilyn Armento.Marilyn@mayo.edu It could be a long day for a child.

Maria, are you planning to attend the conference?
