gordon research conferences
Every year there are many “Gordon Research Conferences,” each on different topics related to the biological and physical sciences. These conferences are generally limited to small numbers of attendees that includes graduate students, post-docs, and faculty members who are some of the world’s leaders in those fields.
If you can find a Gordon Conference on a topic you are interested in or working on, you should definitely check it out. Everyone I know who has gone to a Gordon Conference has come back raving about it. One of my regrets from graduate school is not having gone to one of these conferences. If you go to the website, you can see for what topics there will be conferences this year and hopefully see the schedule of speakers as well.
From their website www.grc.org:
