This is in March and close enough - Wilmington, NC - for me to go:
UNCW's Evolution Learning Community will be hosting "Darwin's Legacy: Evolution's Impact on Science and Culture," a multidisciplinary student conference on March 19-21, 2009.
The conference will be a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and arts who are conducting research or creative endeavors related to evolution to present their research, investigate graduate study opportunities, network, enhance their resumes, and enrich the body of knowledge surrounding evolution.
Blogger meet-up, anyone?

And fun will be had by all!
Well, if Bora, Barton and Brian are going to the conference, I might be able to make the 1.5 hour drive down the beautiful coastline ;)
