253: Eczema Expo 2022 Recap

Did you know that there is a huge annual event just for people struggling with Eczema? Yes!!! It’s called the Eczema Expo and the event is hosted by the National Eczema Association. Due to my dad’s health declining and then the pandemic, I wasn’t able to attend in prior years, so this was my first time! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire experience really was incredible. Many of you asked for a recap to see if this might be a good event for you next year. Just in case you’re wondering – my review of the event is not associated with the hosting organization or the event. I paid for all expenses to travel and attend the event and was not compensated (nor incentivized) to share this information. It’s my hope that this will answer many of your questions about the event, so let’s dive in! In this episode: My experience attending the Eczema Expo for the first time Talk highlights from my favorite talks presented at Expo Activities + events that you can enjoy Experience with the hotel hosting Expo What I hope will improve next year Will I attend again? (drumroll, please) Quotes: “This event that frankly was very “you do you” without any requirement to show up to anything to allow you the freedom to come and go as you pleased.” “It seemed impossible to feel alone because you were immersed in this beautiful, welcoming, supportive community.”
