Recently I posted a list of unschooling conferences. I often find that a good deal of the information I get on homeschooling comes from unschooling sources. We are not homeschooling for religious purposes, and so I tend to avoid sources which provide religious curriculum or resources, unless they specifically note that they are all-inclusive. After posting that list, however, I thought I might go back and try to gather information about other secular conferences, or at least some that are not overtly religious, but are not necessarily focused on unschooling. We have yet to make it to a homeschooling conference, but it would be nice to find one that is close to us and/or is interesting enough that we could attend.
Here are my results. I'd be happy to include any others that you may know about as well. These are really in no particular order.
