Quincy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) began hosting weather conferences every other year back in 2006 and they've grown bigger and better with each successive conference.The Fifth Tri-State Weather Conference is scheduled for Saturday, October 18th, 2014.Speakers this year will include Paul Kocin, Ryan Hanrahan, Jeffrey Tongue, Eleanor Vallier-Talbot and Joe Bastardi, among others: The conference is a one-day event and a relatively low cost compared to other similar conferences, running at $30. The cost includes breakfast, lunch and refreshments.It runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so it is an all day event. There are several presentations surrounded by two small breaks and a larger break for lunch. There will be poster presentations throughout the lower floor of the Science Building at WCSU, which is what the breaks will be focused around.I've attended 3 out of the 4 (couldn't come in 2012 because of a wedding) and it's well worth it. The turnout last year was around 200, so it's nearly doubled in size since they began in 2006. I strongly encourage all of you to try to attend!

I strongly encourage all of you to try to attend! Don't forget Quincy, one of AmWx's own. I saw him on the agenda as well. Yes that's a joke. But this sounds much more intriguing than a trip to Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hey...Baltimore is really nice, and having lots of fun with the AmWx weenies! There will be TWO meetings in SNE in TWO weeks! One week after the Tri-State, the SNE Weather Conference (#15!) will be held at Meditech in Canton, MA, at the base of Great Blue Hill. I will be doing the same presentation at SNE Wx Conference, so those that can't make the Tri-State, try to make the SNE (on Oct 25). I'll put up a separate post after I get home, probably Monday since my flight doesn't get into PVD until 10 PM! --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm looking forward to this! Hopefully people can make it - I had a nice time 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Lightning Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hmm...I may go to these; it's much more cost effective than going to the NWA conference in Salt Lake City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hey guys... Early bird registration is OPEN for the 15th Southern New England Weather Conference. I'll start a separate thread for this one. Just FYI! --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Today was one of the best Tri-State conferences I can remember. It was great meeting Ryan and some others. A good mixture of topics were covered. Hopefully some of you can make it next Saturday to the SNE Weather Conference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I had a blast at this conference, it's been a while since I've seen Kocin. His presentation was great as well as Quincy's. Those were my two favorites of the day. As far as presenters go I would say this was the best conference that I've been to. Very well done.
