Conferences
We've attended quite a few conferences over the years. This is a place to record some notes on them and, perhaps more importantly, good places to eat!
Feel free to add your thoughts / recommendations here.
General Notes
Flights
- Avoid electronic boarding passes, since you'll need to submit a boarding pass with your receipts to get reimbursed
- You'll likely be buying your tickets well in advance of the conference, so you may want to consider getting a travel advance so that you get that money back earlier
