The Atheist Conference season has started. From March until September hundreds of Atheist Conferences will be taking place (of course there are conferences that happen throughout the year, but this is when most of them take place). For those of you who intend to go to a few of them (or just one), which ones do you intend to go to? Why did you pick that one, or those ones? And why do you want to attend them, or attend conferences in general?
This year I will be attending Gateway to Reason in St. Louis and Secular Women Work in Minneapolis. I chose those two because Gateway to Reason has a lot of speakers and was relatively cheap, and Secular Women Work is a new conference that looks well worth supporting. I go to conferences to meet people and to go some place that I wouldn’t otherwise go to. Those two will be the fourth and fifth Atheist Conferences I will have attended (followed by TAM, INR4, and LogiCon).

I’m looking forward to the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s national meeting in Pittsburgh in 2016. It’s relatively close to me and in my favorite city.

I may go to a small convention taking place in a southern state. The reason I choose it is because its close. In general, I enjoy listening to speakers so that is why I am considering it. I would like to attend the Reason for Change and the American Atheist conferences because of the particular speakers (Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Richard Dawkins, Susan Jacoby, Eugenie Scott, Rebecca Goldstein, etc) but those are further away.
