Yes, and the annoying thing is that NW Paddling Festival keeps  being 
scheduled on the same weekend as Paddlefest in Richland, WA, always on a  Friday 
and Saturday.
    I Google kayak symposiums or kayak festivals and specify  WA or OR, in 
the spring and several times through the year, and also the  specific 
locations of previous symposiums, such as SSTIKS, to try and keep up to  date.
    Lumpy Waters is coming up in October, in Oregon.   ACA National 
Paddlesport Conference is in Bend, Oregon, Sept. 27-29.
