Anyone attending AAPT Sacramento? MAA MathFest Columbus?

In summary, the conversation discusses upcoming conferences for the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The AAPT has conferences in February and July of 2017, and January of 2018, while the MAA has conferences in July and August of 2017, and January of 2018. The speaker expresses interest in attending the AAPT and MAA conferences, particularly the MAA Mathfest in Columbus, and notes that these conferences are not well advertised to students. They also mention the possibility of attending both the AAPT and MAA conferences in 2018.

Just thought I'd ask again (and again)...
(It'll be my first MAA meeting.)

The upcoming AAPT conferences are listed at https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/
  • 2017 Winter Meeting, February 18-21 (Atlanta, Georgia)
  • 2017 Summer Meeting, July 22-26 (Cincinnati, Ohio)
  • 2018 Winter Meeting, January 6-9 (San Diego, California)
(Because of that late date, it's unlikely that I'll be able to attend the Atlanta conference.)

The upcoming MAA conferences are listed at http://www.maa.org/meetings/calendar-events/future-meetings
MathFest
  • 2017: Chicago, IL | July 26-29, 2017
  • 2018: Denver, CO | August 1-4, 2018
MAA/AMS

Hmmm... consecutive conferences in San Diego 2018.

I didn't know about the MAA Mathfest in Columbus until now...that's right down the road from me, so I might have to sign up. This might be my last chance to cash in on student rates.

I wish more students would take advantage of these meetings.
It seems that these meetings are not well advertised to students...
and, in my experience, many faculty seem uninterested in these meetings.

The 2017 AAPT Summer meeting July 22-27, 2017 is actually in Covington KY (a few minutes across the Ohio River from Cincinnati OH). I could drive there to save on travel... And maybe go to MathFest in Chicago on the way back.
