This seems good but note that the travel is not free. Actually there are sometimes similar subsidized conferences in Europe where students do not pay a conference fee. Other standard conferences often have a scheme where students can apply for a limited number of free places. One of my doctoral students is off to Germany for a free conference in the spring.
