At a different conference last year, I heard about the Park City Epilepsy Meeting. Having never before heard of either Park City, Utah (turns out, Sundance film festival is there) or the meeting, this was an amazing discovery: This was the second iteration of a brilliant conference bringing together a variety of epilepsy researchers (and thanks to conference co-convener Scott Baraban, many fish epilepsy researchers, too). And in addition to the beautiful surroundings of mountainous northern Utah, they had done brilliantly with their fundraising - offering a whole host of travel awards to early-career researchers, meaning that both me and my student Dominic were able to attend and present our work!
