Is the UOAA Conference Biennial? 2013 in Florida!

The topic is about the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA) National Conference, specifically its frequency and concerns about the 2013 venue in Florida. The person asking the question is curious about how often the conference is held and is worried about the hot and humid weather in Florida affecting ostomy pouch adhesion. They are considering attending the conference for the first time.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. The UOAA National Conference is held every two years.
2. Florida in August is known for being extremely hot and humid, which could be uncomfortable.
3. A seasoned conference attendee shared their experiences:
- They have attended several UOA/UOAA national conferences and found them to be excellent.
- The events are usually held inside air-conditioned hotels, so the temperature should not impact the adhesion of wafers or pouches.
- The conferences are a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and make friends.
- It's a good idea to keep an eye on the UOAA website for any updates about the conference. For reference, the 2012 conference took place in Reno.
