The US Department of Energy's Basic Energy Sciences component of the Office of Science funds a lot of basic scientific research, and for the last decade or so had a tradition of regular gatherings of their funded principal investigators for a number of programs. Every two years there has been a PI meeting for the Experimental Condensed Matter Physics program, and this year's meeting starts tomorrow.
These meetings are very educational (at least for me) and, because of their modest size, a much better networking setting than large national conferences. In past years I've tried to write up brief highlights of the meetings (for 2017, see a, b, c; for 2015 see a, b, c; for 2013 see a, b). I will try to do this again; the format of the meeting has changed to include more poster sessions, which makes summarizing trickier, but we'll see.
update: Here are my write-ups for day 1, day 2, and day 3.
