Postponement of Live Event

The RetreatMigraine planning team has made the difficult decision to postpone RetreatMigraine 2020 until later this year. The event is rescheduled for the same hotel (Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach) on November 6-8, 2020*.

What Does This Mean For Registered Attendees Of RetreatMigraine 2020?

We are committed to minimizing the negative financial impact of this postponement on our registered attendees.

Registration Fee

If you want to maintain your registered spot in RetreatMigraine 2020 for Nov 6-8, you don’t need to take any action. We will roll your registration over to the rescheduled event.
You can cancel and request a 100% refund any time between now and September 6, and then cancel and request a 50% refund until October 6.**

Travel Costs

Most airlines currently have flexible trip cancellation policies, so please work directly with your travel provider to get your travel expenses refunded or credited.
If you have been awarded a travel scholarship and you encounter difficulties in getting your travel expenses refunded or credited, let us know and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to minimize the financial impact.

Warmly,

Eileen & Kevin

*We know this new RetreatMigraine weekend (Nov 6-8) unfortunately overlaps with Miles for Migraine Connection Days in Boston and Cleveland. We are working collaboratively with Miles for Migraine to ensure all events are successful and well attended.

**Keep in mind that there are still people on the waitlist, so please be respectful with cancellation. If you cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the spot to someone waiting.

What is RetreatMigraine?

RetreatMigraine is a conference specially designed for people living with migraine disease.

The goal is to support and strengthen our community from the inside out. Sessions will provide disease and treatment education, advocacy training, and complementary therapy experiences.

This second annual event, organized by the members of CHAMP, will be experiential and educational - making social connections and empowering advocacy efforts that will endure for years to come.

Registration Lottery Now Closed.

Due to the large number of people interested in attending the event and the limited number of spaces, attendees are selected via a lottery. Individuals selected from the Registration Lottery for attendance spots will be notified in early December 2019. They will be sent a link to complete and pay for their registration (open until Jan. 15, 2020). We will have an application for registration and travel scholarships available in early December. Caregivers are not eligible for scholarships. If you choose double occupancy and do not have a roommate in mind, we can match you with someone else who was drawn from the lottery. Those who do not receive a place at RetreatMigraine 2020 will be placed on a waiting list. One entry per person or patient/caregiver.
