Why do you recommend this Pittsburgh area ulcerative colitis discussion?

I have attended a number of IBD forums, discussions, and symposiums. This is among the most organized, professional, educational, and empowering ulcerative colitis or Crohn's events I have attended. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is casual. Most importantly, the speakers, sponsors, and event organizers believe in what they are doing. Their mission is to educate the ulcerative colitis community, bringing help and hope.
