I attend conferences, festivals, workshops and seminars fairly regularly. Sometimes I give presentations at these events. Sometimes I am a participant. Sometimes I just attend (and keep my mouth shut!) I’ll try to keep this page up-to-date over time. I am listing only major events here. I also serve on the board of two local nonprofit groups and attend lots of smaller social groups, so by no means is this a complete listing.
