Kind of. According to the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA -- our IRS), we have a maximum of 2 conventions per year we can attend that are business related. This claim is substantiated here: http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/...it131r2-e.html

The idea to get around this is to claim other expenses as educational or training. For example, Internext is clearly a convention. The upcoming show in LA can be considered educational since you're attending sessions to educate yourself of the industry changes.

There's a few other loopholes that CCRA is fucking me on like Island Gathering. Apparently you can only attend conventions within the territorial scope of your business and since I have no sponsors based in Curacao they denied my expense. I'm fighting their bullshit claims in court, so I'll let you know how it goes...

conventions - marketing, business meetings, etc. they are legal ways around it
