Default Form-Friendly Festivals and Conferences

One of my regrets about not getting into formal poetry until pandemic times is that I think I missed the heyday of the West Chester Poetry Conference. Does the West Chester conference still happen? Do any Sphereans still attend? On the WCU Poetry Center website I see a Poetry and Pedagogy conference that happened earlier this month, and a Poetry and Creative Arts festival in April, but I can’t find a general conference in June. (I also read a bit about the controversy over its direction a few years ago, and I apologize if this thread opens any old wounds.)

In any case — besides West Chester, what other form-friendly poetry festivals or conferences do Sphereans attend? I know about Poetry by the Sea and the Newburyport Literary Festival - what others are there?

THINK Journal / Western Colorado University has had an in-person summer poetry conference for a while, and might again. Sometime Sphereans David Mason and Wendy Videlock will know more.

This year's was virtual. Here are links:
