Hello, have anyone been able to set up an account to gather the founds to send Desmond to the congress.
I would do it but realize that will have more credibility coming from a Sr. member.
Arashi, since you came up with the idea would you be able to create an account to gather the money?
Ill be happy to send my contribution if we can set it up!Comment

You might find easy to set an account in www.gofundme.com, is a website dedicated to gather money for donations and I believe we should even be able to wave wire fees every time a member sends money
It's also easier than opening a bank account... hope it helpsComment

What about getting in to the conference? Getting a press pass? Pretty sure they don't just let anyone in. It's a nice idea for us to have an inside man from the forums there, but I'm betting nothing comes of it. Desmond is probably busy anyway. The info will get to us one way or another.Comment

hey
If we do this then we need to do it now. Is everyone okay with me making the website and putting up a simple page where people can see how much is already donated and the goal. I can have it in like a day, then people can send paypal donations to his email, which he will post in public, that way you will know for sure that it is going to him only. I will not be able to donate money, but I can put the money for the domain name and hosting and privacy to do this. What do you guys think?Comment

Hey guys. I have to give work 1 month heads up before I go on leave so we pretty much have 1 week to get the funding together. I had a look and we need sonewhere in the proximity of $2800 to cover the flight accommodation and conference ticket. I'm willing to put in $500.
Another option is just skip this years conference and go next year. It is based in USA and will be much cheaper to get a member to go. Either way let me know.
I'm always here for u guys.
Cheers

If Desmond doesn't go, we will have to wait till official publications coming out and these might come half a year or later after the conference. And still, there's no guarantee all the speakers will even issue publications at all. Without Desmond, all we will get is silence ...Comment

Happy to be wrong if Desmond's willing to go and the funding is there. If the donations go above $2000-2500 or so, I'll throw some in too. I didn't realise you could just buy a ticket and go in, I thought it was more of a private conference between doctors/researchers and the press. We'll see, hopefully it happens.Comment
