<p>Last summer daughter attended the conference focus Medicine in
Boston. She had an enjoyable experience with educational and social
value to the conference. Young people need to get out and see
things on their own, listen to adults talk about a focused subject matter,
and become comfortable relating to a range of attendees. </p>
<p>She was happy to be registered for the Washington conference this summer. The
last time she was in Washington she was two years old. I trust it will be an
enjoyable experience with certain educational value. I find these conferences
to be sort of a Happening for young people. </p>
<p>I do not see the conferences as resume builders for college applications.</p>
