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.)

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.
