Just learned of this.

March 26-28, 2010 is the Northwest Freethought Conference in Renton, Washington (13 miles outside Seattle).

Details HERE.

It may be big:

The first Northwest Free-thought Conferences were planned and run by the Corvallis Secular Society, Eugene Atheists and Freethinkers, Humanist Association of Salem, Humanists of Greater Portland, and United States Atheists. The first conference, attended by 100 people, was held in 1998. Subsequently, conferences were held in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.

The 2009 conference, “Darwin@200, and Other Matters,” at Portland State University was the resumption of this series. It featured Dr. David Domke, Roy Speckhardt, and Dr. Bob Park as keynote speakers. For 2010, we hope to expand the program to include a wider variety of speakers, workshops and panels.

The Northwest Free-thought Alliance coordinates the efforts of almost 50 free-thought groups in the Northwest, including member organizations of the Northwest Free-thought Coalition (NWFC), in planning and hosting this annual regional conference.

2010′s keynote speakers include Ophelia Benson and Dr. David Domke.
