I did go to the symposium in Philadelphia in 2013. It starts on Friday around noon and goes until Sunday around noon. There is a general welcome and presentation for the whole group with various speakers and then there are breakout sessions you can choose related to your individual needs or type of vasculitis. At the top of the forum are notes Rebekah took and posted from the forum in Philadelphia.

Here is a link to the event with the schedule-International Vasculitis Symposium ? Jacksonville, Florida, June 19-21, 2015

In my opinion it is well worth the time and cost. The information from the DR's that present is great but just as important is the interaction with other's who have the same diagnosis and are dealing with the same issues that we do.
