I’ve just invited my doctors and dietitian to the Plant-Based Prevention of Disease Conference (#PPOD2019).I’m posting the letters I used so you can invite your doctors and other medical experts too. Feel free to copy or modify my letters as you see fit. I customized them for each person’s interest. You could do that too by looking at the conference agenda. The best registration discount runs through January 10th. It’s only $375 for physicians and $299 for other health-care professionals, such as nurses and registered dietitians.
The conference is also open to the general public and students at even better prices ($263 and $195 through January 10). If you live within a reasonable driving or train-traveling distance, I hope to see you and your medical team there!
Even if this isn’t the right conference for you, please consider letting your doctors know about other events that show how plant-based eating can improve our health and their results.

Example Invitation to P-POD for a Registered Dietitian
Dear RD, thank you for meeting with me recently about nutrition. I thought of you when the registration opened for the national Plant-Based Prevention of Disease Conference. It will be in Raleigh at the McKimmon Center from May 18 to 20, 2019. I hope you will consider attending.
The “extreme early bird pricing” lasts through January 10th. I’ve been to three of these conferences. They are splendidly informative, professional conferences eligible for 17 CPEUs for participation in the full conference, approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. Other sorts of CE credit are also available for physicians, nurses, and more. It’s wonderful to see medical teams come together with shared view of the importance of diet and nutrition.
