Have you ever been to a convention? If so, what kind?

[SATW]

Many (normal)

The big ones I've been to are:
National Black MBA Conference
CPAC
Canton Fair
Light + Building

I've also been to academic conferences at Penn State, Dartmouth, Michigan, the University of Denver, and Tel Aviv University, if they count.

Nice, what was the one at Tel Aviv U about?

National Black MBA Conference

That's, uh, interesting.

It's the biggest MBA conference in the country and they have a massive career fair that is open to all members regardless of skin color. The career fair is like 70% non-black. They also have legendary after parties (which are mostly black) which can be fun.

Entrepreneurship and innovation. (very Israeli subject) It was in early 2014 so we talked about Waze and some of the other hot Israeli developments at the time. I learned a lot and met some cool people. I forgot who exactly it was, but one guy gave a hell of a PPT presentation that changed the way I do presentations.

Nice. that's awesome!

Most of the conferences I've attended have been political, Jewish non-profits, or Israel-related.
