The Animal Rights National Conference takes place every other year on the West Coast (It alternates between the East Coast and the West Coast, and for scheduling reasons it hasn't been on the West Coast in 3 years!)
So try to attend if you can, whether for the full conference or just for a day or 2. The exhibits are free and you can attend one daytime session for free if you don't have the funds to go for a full day of sessions.
The Animal Rights National Conference is the U.S. animal rights movement's annual national conference. It is also the world's largest and longest-running animal rights gathering, hailing back to 1981. It is the only conference open to all points of view on achieving animal liberation.
AR2014 will take place July 10-13 at the Westin LAX Hotel located at 5400 West Century Blvd in Los Angeles, CA.
