Conferences

One of the most famous parts of Near-ring folklore is the conferences. Approximately every two years the near-ringers gather like some strange breed of druids to discuss new ideas, share results, see the countryside, but most of all simply to meet. I have heard a number of people say that the near-ring conference is the one conference they never miss out on.
