2012 IFV Conference Schedule and Panelists
With so many areas to cover this year at our Second Annual Independent Football Veterans Conference, we’ve adopted a broadcast format and assembled discussion panels with audience participation instead of individual speakers for the most part. Each panel will be broadcast as a separate topic covering the most important issues and questions retired players want to know.
.
Each panelist will be given an opportunity to talk approximately 5 – 10 minutes about their particular areas of expertise and interest after which 30 – 45 minutes will then be devoted to general discussions and questions from our studio audience and our online viewers. For a list of our panelists and speakers, click HERE. We’ll be posting our Panelists’ Bios shortly.
.
All retired players welcome to participate in this live event but be sure to register for your entry pass today - click HERE – and book you flight and room(s) at the South Point as soon as possible! The Conference is open to all retired football players by simply registering to attend. Media and other guests are limited and by invitation only – click HERE to contact us.

Dave,
I’m really looking forward to the Conference.
The only thing I can guarantee retired players who attend is that they will get a lot more useful information – and straight answers – about their benefits and their rights than they will ever get from calling the Plan office, the PA, the League or the Alumni.

John,
You’re absolutely right. Accurate information is one source of power. It’s my hope that retired players (and active players) will attend this Conference to get real answers about:
1) disability
2) pensions
3) medical after football
4) Legacy fund (so much misinformation out there)
5) current lawsuits
Thanks, John.
Regards,
Dave Pear
