Are there any conferences we should be going to?

Question

Are there any Jewish conferences Judaism.SE should consider sponsoring and sending a representative to?

Conferences bring together high concentrations of highly interested people, and would give us a chance to promote the site face-to-face. In addition, a representative we send to a conference may learn some interesting information that could be useful in answering advanced questions on [main]. Stack Exchange, Inc. has money available to do stuff like sponsor a conference, print up materials to bring, etc.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

How about reaching out to Federation to see if you can present @ the GA?

Answer 2

Here are two Jewish journalism conferences that happened recently. Perhaps we could catch up with them next year.

• American Jewish Press Association

• National Jewish Student Journalism Conference

The next Limmud Conference in the UK will be December 23 - 29, 2011.

Answer 3

http://www.youthcon.org/ - a conference for Jewish Youth Professionals, who would likely join and be active participants of the site.

http://www.fojnp.com/ - a conference for those who work in the Jewish non-profit field, again lots of people who would likely be actively involved in building the site.

Full Disclosure: Friends of mine are running both of these conferences.

Answer 4

I just came across an ad for TribeFest, a Federation conference for North American Jews ages 22-45.

There's information about being part of the vendor exhibition in this PDF.

This year's conference is March 25 - 27, 2012, in Las Vegas.
