Second Annual Independent Football Veterans Conference

At last, we’re finally ready to announce our Second Annual Independent Football Veterans Conference! A lot of you have been calling and writing about our Conference and we thank everyone for their patience.
.
We’ll be meeting once again in Las Vegas at the South Point Resort & Casino April 20 – 22, 2012. This year, we’ll be using a panel-style approach to cover a wide range of important topics ranging from the most recent information on lawsuits, your benefits, as well as more of the latest information on brain health and concussions. Other hot topics open for discussion will include The Legacy Fund, widows’ benefits (or the lack thereof), severance pay, Workers Compensation and Retirees’ Rights among other hot topics! We also have some social events planned for Friday and Saturday evening that will allow our attendees to catch up on their playing days with their teammates. We already have a dinner sponsored for our attendees scheduled for Saturday evening.
.

We’ll be kicking off our Conference off on Friday morning with several legal panels comprised of some of the most experienced legal minds on professional football, disability, pensions, Unions and more. Each panel of experts will start off with some discussion on specific topics of interest to all retired players and their families and then the floor will be open to discussion, as well as question-and-answer sessions. On Saturday, we’ll be taking the same approach, with medical and neurological experts discussing their latest findings on post-career issues with a strong focus on the long-term effects of concussions and some of the most recent treatments and care. We’ll be posting more details on the discussions along with biographies of all the panelists over the next week.
