2008 Conference Archived Web Pages
Questions: Where can a person affected by a giant nevus:
find hundreds of others who know what their life is like?
meet the top physicians?
get the right answers to their questions?
jump into a swimming pool filled with kids with giant nevi?
Simple. The Nevus Outreach International Conference. Next question?
This summer in Dallas, starting on July 9, we will hold our 6th International Conference. On Wednesday July 9th, hundreds of people will gather over an ice cream social, meet new people and see old friends. Over the next three days there will be sessions for everyone, about medicine, science, treatment, and psychology. There will be activities for kids from birth to adulthood. There will be lots of adults with nevi.
In short: prepare to have the time of your life. If you are a parent of a child with a giant nevus, prepare to give your child the experience of a lifetime, and something that was not possible only 10 short years ago when people with giant nevi commonly lived their entire lives without ever meeting another person with one.
So, come to Dallas ... and change your life!
