[time-nuts] Educational Opportunities?

[Forrest Christian (List Account)]

I think I've mentioned this before but I attended the NIST T&F metrology
seminar in June.  Although a good chunk of of it was at least somewhat over
my head, I definitely learned a lot and feel like I have a lot better
handle on some of the questions I had.   I may even consider going back for
a second round in a year or two to try to move on to the next level.
 Definitely worth the admission fee.

The other thing that re-learned (from my youth) is how well I absorbed
advanced technical information in this type of format - that is, being
immersed in data which has large chunks beyond my skill level.  Sort of the
"sink or swim" training method.   A lot of the training I've ended up at
recently is quite frankly a waste of time due to the classes trying to
cater to everyone so the material is so watered down as to be largely
useless.   After walking out of a week of high-level training and realizing
how much more I understand now I really think this is the type of
educational opportunities I should be looking for.

So, the question for the list:  What other high quality seminars/workshops
are out there?  Is there anything else I should be considering along these
lines (I.E. IEEE Membership, etc) in order to have other educational
opportunities?
