Hi Paddy
I used to frequent a another board connected to this site and we chatted daily in the chatroom. We mostly talked about our pain, but we usually ended up making each other laugh. Three of the women from neighboring states came out to Chicago. We rented a room and had a "slumber party." Two of us were suffering from physical pain, the other two emotional pain - but you would have never known. The only tears we shed were tears of laughter. 
It was SO NICE to meet the people I had become close with over the internet - to know they are real people and not just words on a screen or a face in a photo. They will forever hold a place in my heart. 
Spending a night together in a hotel room with "strangers" might be a little bold, but a conference sounds like a great idea.
