Conferences have always been a lot of fun for me and Dr. Rtoz, but not everyone can travel across the country to attend a physical conference. Travel and lodging can prove to be very expensive, as can the time away from work and home. The truth is that sometimes physical conferences just aren’t practical for the people who need them the most. And that’s where the Virtual ADHD Conference™ comes in. It’s a great chance to hear well known experts live and ask them your questions. Here’s the schedule of speakers.

If you sign up before July 20th, you can get the early bird discount ($100 off!): http://bit.ly/9a1BE3.

I’ll be there and I hope you will be too. Let me know if you’ll be attending! Write me at sarah@fidgettofocus.com.
