I have never heard of it, and since google doesnt have many answers from a quick search I'd say it was a small conference (unless of course im mistaken)...is it in any textbook at all?

The Bamberg conference of 1926 was a meeting between the northern radical nazi supporters, including Gregor Strasser and Josef Goebbels, and the Southern Supporters. Hitler flooded the meeting with these southern supporters, and was able to establish the lines of the nazi leadership, downplaying both the radical and Strassers role in the NSDAP.

This meeting is importnat, as Hitler reestablished his leadership, and secured it from the leftist Strasser. This was the meeting where Goebbels was won over by Hitler.
