Conferences I've got my eyes on

I don't have time to do a full round up of conferences that matter before some of them actually happen. So, here's a quick, dirty and terribly incomplete list of conversations I want to be part of virtually or in person. Please let me know what you're going to, what's new and must-attend, and whether or not you'll be live tweeting/blogging/video covering...I'll try for more info and more complete listing.

Email readers: Please check blog directly as the list keeps growing, and there are additions in the comments.

Addition: This is just through Q1 and Q2 - not yet thinking about the Fall.

Lucy - we've tried to pull together a similar list on Pioneering Ideas (http://rwjfblogs.typepad.com/pioneer/2010/01/hello-folks--on-the-pioneer-team-were-thinking-about-our-travel-plans-for-2010-a-lot-of-our-travel-is-related-to-specif.html). You've highlighted some really interesting ones.

Usually this isn't a groundbreaking conference, but it is useful and inspiring for trustees and staff of family foundations: Council on Foundations' Family Philanthropy conference in San Diego, Jan 31-Feb 2.
