The Lighthouse Lymphedema Network is pleased to invite you to an outstanding educational and awareness conference this fall! Continuing our annual efforts to increase awareness about lymphedema, we have assembled a terrific group of speakers to provide information on a wide variety of topics for patients, family, caregivers, and professionals. We will also have a large number of our excellent vendor associates present to demonstrate current products for lymphedema care and treatment.

Whether you are newly-diagnosed with lymphedema and eager to get more information about what it is and how it can be treated, or perhaps you are interested in learning what the latest research in this field promises, attendance at our program will definitely be beneficial. [Professionals, remember LLN offers CEUs for attendance.]

Our program starts Friday afternoon, October 5, with a pre-conference tour of Sigvaris’ garment manufacturing plant here in Atlanta, and will be followed by a Kick-Off Party from 5:00-7:00 PM. Saturday and Sunday are full of plenary sessions open to everyone, with instructional sessions for both professionals and all other conference attendees.
