What book and/or writing conference would you love to go to?
The only conference I've ever been to is the Willamette Writers Conference here in Portland. I've been to it three times and totally love it. I even met my agent at last years Willamette Writers Conference. I haven't been to any other conferences but would love to go to more.
For several years now I've eyed the Pikes Peak Writers Conference in Colorado. I have relatives in Colorado and always love visiting that part of the country. Mixing writers and mountains sounds like a winning combo to me.
But if we are talking ultimate dream conference. Someday I want to go to BAE. Not as an annual thing, I just want to get there at least once in my life. It's seems like the ultimate book lovers haven. But maybe it's just crazy stressful with lots of publisher types running around. Still I want to go there, at least once.
What about you? What book or writing conference would you love to attend?

Nice! I want to go to BAE, too, but it seems like it's crazy.
Ah! Someday . . . :)
You're right about BEA, Kate. It sounds like a lot of fun... and ARCs! Who could pass up an opportunity for serious reader-swag?! :)
I want to go to BEA too! But I'd want to kinda hang out and watch people and chat with people, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to stay out of the crazy.
Both BEA and SCBWI in LA are my two "must attend" conferences! One of these days...
And since you live in the NW like me, the Pacific Northwest Writer's Conference is also a good one, if you can make it up here to Seattle (although, it's usually down in SeaTac near the airport).
I would love to attend SCBWI! Maybe someday when I am rich and famous ;) Until then I'm going to do WriteOnCon since it is free and being online no travel costs!
I think I'd be SO overwhelmed by the chaos and crowds of BEA (small-town Canadian girl that I am, lol). But still, I have to go at least once in my life, right? I hope so. :)
i have never attended any--but i have thought of going to some my library offers--hope you go to some you are wanting to check out!
Ahhh BEA would be a dream. Hope you get to go to one to mix family and writing - sounds like a great opporunity!
Pikes Peak?? If you come out here, I will go to it too! I've eyed that one for a while, but it's expensive, but I would seriously go if you were heading out (plus, I know lots of writers around here who love it, so I know it's a good one).
