Recommendations for DIY homeschool convention or inservice training

I wasn't able to make it to anything other than our small, local conference which, admittedly, is very life-style oriented.  I could really use some inspiration before starting school next month, and I was wondering if anyone would like to share links to some audio lectures that they have really enjoyed?  I've listened to (and very much enjoyed!) most of the PHP mp3s, and would love to learn of other ones. 

 

Thanks!!

I've done my own conference two times now. It can be very helpful. I listened again to many of the MP3s from PHP. I also read parts of WTM, LCC, and anything else. 

 

Mostly, I made a list of things I hadn't been able to get to recently. I also worked on a mission statement, personal philosophy, and overall plan for the last few years of school. 

 

I opted to do mine at home since ds will disappear if necessary and dh was out of town or working. That way if I needed to grab another book, take a break I could. 

 

I made up a checklist type of schedule. I bought special snacks. I cleaned off my desk the night before. I've been to enough business conferences so I tried to recreate some of the atmosphere.

 

Usually I do two days and leave some open time for things I discover along the way.
