I went in spring of 2008 to the SPA meeting. On my last day there I saw the San Diego Zoo. It was awesome, but you really need most of the day free if you want to get something out of it.

I'll be there from Friday-Tuesday. I'm an MSII and I've never been to a conference before, so I'm excited. What do people usually wear to things like the House of Delegates or poster sessions?

if you're presenting wear a suit - medical conferences are much more formal than their basic science counterparts. if you're just attending talks then it probably doesn't matter. have fun!
