I know my school doesn't have any, but I am getting people here too start growing carnivores (S/o to dozer1028 for helping start that) but fortunately I'm only about an hour from FSUs main campus, do you know if he studies Nepenthes or Sarracenia?
I've gone to about six hort shows and all I found were over priced VFTs from people who didn't know how to grow them at one of the shows but I was actually looking to going to a reptile expo in a few weeks do maybe I'll find something there
Hopefully on Sunday of next week I'll be able to go visit Lee's Botanicals but I haven't gotten a response yet from them and I'd love to visit Sunbelle but I don't think they take visitors (and for good reason)
TE Miller specializes in Protozoan communities in S. purpurea I believe
Here are some articles of his:
journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0113384#pone-0113384-g004
This one is a great read about the succession of inquiline communities in Purpurea:

And this one looks at protozoans along the entire natural range of purpurea:

This is his official college page:
www.bio.fsu.edu/faculty-millert.php
He is more interested in the inquiline protozoan communities in pitcher plants, than the Sarracenia themselves.
However, I still think speaking to him might open a few doors/windows of opportunity to find out more about talks he may be giving, or other opportunities.
