One of the most enjoyable conferences on the schedule is the “Bellingham Summer Philosophy Conference”:http://www.ac.wwu.edu/%7Earistos/BSPC6/BSPC6.html. I’ve been to this conference many times now, and I’m not alone in highly recommending it. The “call for papers”:http://www.ac.wwu.edu/%7Earistos/BSPC6/BSPC6.html has now opened and closes on March 4.

Most of the papers are the conference are read in advance, and have two commentators, so if you’re lucky enough to be selected you’re guaranteed to get useful feedback. My “truer”:http://brian.weatherson.org/ttt.pdf paper, for example, contains a lot of points that were raised at Bellingham two years ago. So send ’em your best stuff!

As an added bonus, the northwest in August is one of the most beautiful locations you’ll find, so even if you pick your conferences on the basis of physical rather than philosophical qualities you should want to head along.
