Yes. We have an annual tortoise conference the third week of November in Mesa AZ every year. It's called the TTPG and we have several speakers on a variety of tortoise and turtle topics for two whole days. There is also a field trip, a BBQ get together and a banquet with a key note speaker. The Phoenix Reptile Show follows the conference on Saturday and Sunday. Its is the best conference in the world for any Chelonian related topics. Many of these talks end up on YT. You can check them out there.

It's my understanding there are new presenters and talks each year.

All of them are great. The one from @biochemnerd808 this year was particularly good.

Thank you, Tom. I had fun presenting! Adult tortoise keepers are much more enthusiastic and appreciative than my 7th grade Life Science students.

I learned something from every single presenter. It's worth coming to the TTPG conference, I have next year's on my calendar already.
