Strange But True Conferences

Most of us have to attend conferences at some point

, for either work or for a personal hobby and they are often informative whilst following a standard pattern. However there are many conferences in the world, which are a little bit different from the norm and here is a roundup of some of the most interesting.

First up is the National Pheasant Fest , an annual event held in the US celebrating all that is wildlife conservation, hunting & habitat management related. Organised by Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever, the event includes pheasant hunting and dog training seminars and is pitched as an event for all the family. You've missed it for 2010 but all you pheasant fans can catch the 2011 one in Omaha, NE.

If meat isn't your thing then maybe the American cheese society's annual conference will be more up your street. Dubbed 'Cheese-a-Topia', this year's event is in Seattle at the end of August and will feature seminars, interactive sessions and keynotes. My personal highlights would be the interactive cheese making session and the keynote speech about the mind of a cheese consumer.

Sticking with the food based conferences my next, and quite possibly favourite, event is the New Zealand Ice Cream Manufacturers Association Conference. This incorporates the highly coveted Ice Cream Awards and celebrates all that is ice cream related in new Zealand. It also acts as a networking event, and of course a chance to enjoy some delicious ice cream!

Now this round up wouldn't be complete without including the actual Weird Conference! This is a yearly happening dedicated to discussing and learning about all things paranormal, which includes seminars, speakers and roundtables. Highlights of Weird 10 include discussions on the Loch Ness monster and the spate of unexplained sheep attacks.

That was just a small insight into the crazy world of conferences, but there are plenty more out there, so why not give one a go?
