On the other hand, I also attended some smaller conferences and "teaching days," all of which were also wonderful and well worth attending. A little closer to home, cheaper fees, cheaper hotels, or the ability to commute instead of stay over.
I've been moping a bit lately about not going to Baltimore, so to cheer myself up, I'm looking at other opportunities. I'm listing them here so I have an easy reference point. Some of them don't have much information up yet, some do, and some have some great material available form previous conferences! Some are very large, some are very small. The list is not all-inclusive- some of my favorites from the past couple of years don't have any information online yet, not even potential dates. I'll post about them as I find them.
