It’s that time of year again.  The seas and beaches are warming.  The flowers are in bloom.  The low hum of projectors will soon be hurling many a brave Power Point against unsuspecting screens and walls.  Questions will be asked.  Wifi quality will be bad.  That’s right.  It’s Conference Season.  To help guide your choices in this precious time, gentle reader, we are pleased to present this handy flowchart.  Click to get the big version.  Use it well.

Your favorite conference not here?  Believe that we have mis-characterized the true essence of one of these hallowed gatherings?  I suggest you vent your spleen by taking your grievances to Twitter, the place where poorly-thought-out complaints go to die.
