Regional Conference

I'll be going to a regional conference Thursday through Saturday.  These are more strenuous with less pay-off than the national conferences I go to.  Typically lots of driving, full days of meetings, and no time to do anything locally.  Some good talks, but a mix.  The main value to me is the networking and the chance to give a talk. It's a push to prepare for my classes for the week after I return, not a problem in January or August.
