The FAIR (Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research) Conference for 2009 is coming up soon (August 6-7 in Sandy, Utah). If you live nearby or plan to be in the region at that time, come! I’ve attended three times and plan to go again this year (alas, I missed last year due to a cross-country move just beforehand). I’ve enjoyed every one. My write ups for each are here: 2005 pt 1, 2005 pt 2, 2006, 2007.
Visit the FAIR website to register.
