Lets face it, a huge conference like the AAA can be overwhelming. Its pretty hard to attend a panel for a single paper, and I find I can’t really stomach more than one or two panels a day. Not to mention socializing, business meetings, looking at the books, and maybe getting out to see a museum exhibit or take in a movie. So how to manage it all without going crazy? If the AAA staff were half-way familiar with this series of tubes called the internet, they might put together a Google calendar version of the schedule. Since they haven’t, I created my own personal calendar just for the conference.

It isn’t exactly my itinerary for the conference, since a lot of events I’m interested in overlap, but it’s a useful way to list any, and every, event which catches my eye, and to then have those listed on my iPhone. Its also handy to figure out when might be a good time to meet up with old friends. Not to mention, it can serve as a useful record of the event after its done.

Looking around the anthro-blog-o-sphere, only Somatosphere had a post up about what they were planning on seeing at the AAA this year. How about you? Are there any must-see panels on your list? Are you presenting a paper this year? Let us know in the comments!
