Like to Party?

The 11th Annual FOCUS Conference will provide fun and entertainment the likes of which have never been seen at a medical conference. The fun begins the night before the conference with our concert/dance featuring live music, cash bar, door prizes and other surprises. It all takes place in the Town & Country Hotel Courtyard the night before the conference begins and is free for all registered attendees and their families.

We'll also be holding our third 5-K Run/Walk for adults, in addition to a children's .75 mile run (for children ages 8-12) on Thursday morning, March 24. Both of these races have been a lot of fun (with over 200 participants) with every participant receiving a t-shirt and both adults and children winning cash prizes. Focus wishes to thank Roche Diagnostics for their generous sponsorship of this 5-K Run/Walk event, once again.

Our exhibit hall will feature 150+ medical companies and recruiters and will be a "festival" in and of itself with caricature artists, live music, roving impersonators, two incredible receptions with free Hors D'oeuvres, free beer and wine and phenomenal door prizes including a chance to win a 2011 Ford Focus automobile or $10,000 cash - your choice.

Then, join us Friday, March 25th for a wonderful evening of comedy and music under the stars featuring "Joan Rivers" (back by popular demand) and an incredible comedy-hypnotism show by the nationally
famous hypnotist, James Kellogg, Jr.
A special night that will have you howling with laughter - A great evening of entertainment included in everyone's registration fee.
