We are headed to Hagerstown, Maryland Community College
this week for Jason's speech on Ergonomics in ultrasound.  

Today I am stuffing "goody bags" for those attending.  

I believe meetings go better with a little bit of chocolate!

 

We will be in New York City, April 14-17 for the AIUM Meeting at the Marriott Marquisssss in Timessss Sssssquare.  I can't help but wonder if the Bronx Zoo Cobra might sssslither in for a little under-belly ssscanning.  Ssssshe is welcome to lay on our SssssonoBed anytime!

(the multiple Sssss' are to seem snake like & just for fun) 

Update:  The Bronx Zoo Cobra has been found ;(  

We were looking forward to seeing a reptile scan!

The Best SDMS Meeting of our 10 years!

Jason & I attended our first SDMS Meeting in October 2001 in Las Vegas.
At that time the country was still in a state of shock over the events of September 11.
I remember wanting to cancel our trip because I was too afraid to travel.
But we went, took Jason's mom & our girls, got on the plane and flew
to Las Vegas for the SDMS Meeting.
It's so hard to believe that was 9 years and 10 meetings ago.

Last week we had a great time at the 2010 SDMS Meeting in Denver.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made the meeting a success.

Special SHOUT OUT to Jennifer, Beth, Julie & Jeanne - some of our favorite
customers and good friends we can count on visiting with each year at the meeting.

Above is a photo of Jason & me with the Polly Bed* - the only pink exam bed in the exhibit hall
and maybe even the entire state of Colorado.
The Polly Bed* had an amazing debut - with her Power Wedge Sections*
and pink upholstery she was very well received.
So many of you stopped by to take her photo - very exciting for us!
I could not ask for a better response to our New Polly Bed*.

Thanks again to all who attended and continue to support businesses like us in the exhibit hall.
If you have never attended the SDMS Annual Meeting I encourage you to get more info at
their website and plan on seeing us next year in Atlanta, Georgia.



SDMS Meeting next year is in Atlanta, Georgia
September 22-25, 2011

Pretty in Pink....
(blogger doesn't offer pink font)
That's me testing the bed for comfort & support - and yes it passed the test!

Special 'SHOUT OUT' to Barb, Mario, Mark, Wayne, Norv, Jeff &Rodney for all the hard work this week - Thank You!


Here's the Polly Bed just before crating today - next time I will see her is in Denver next Wednesday for the SDMS Annual Meeting.

Our first SDMS meeting was in October 2001 - our girls were 2 & 6 years old ..... WOW! they are 11 & 15 now - time really does fly!
It's a great meeting and the Sonographers always have a blast. Lot's of learning, fun dinners and shopping in the exhibit hall. Also, Denver is a great city to visit. I know Jason & I are looking forward to our time in Denver. Jason has sent a 2000 Series Cardiac bed to be used in the hands - on tutorials Thursday, October 14 - before the exhibit hall opens Thursday evening. If you are signed up for the tutorial you will have a chance to test drive our bed. If not, stop by BOOTH #212 for a demonstration.

Can't wait to see you there!

Not long now to the SDMS meeting in Denver, Colorado. This is our 10th year exhibiting - and we always have a great time at SDMS. The meeting opens with a cocktail party in the exhibit hall on Thursday night. Open bar, food, music and shopping around the exhibits. This is when we meet the most attendees. We enjoy hearing what your work conditions are like, if you currently use a specialty bed, what types of injuries you may have, how long you have been scanning, and my favorite - how many studies you do per day. All of this information is very valuable to us in our design and production of exam beds. Although it may seem like fun, Jason & I are gathering information to help sonographers improve their working conditions.
I hope as you read our blog you have already made plans to attend the meeting.
If not, click here for the link to SDMS to sign up now!

We look forward to seeing you next month in Denver.
