Was reading some agents' profiles on Writer's Market today, saw that some of them like to meet authors at conventions. Asimov's always lists upcoming sci-fi conventions, & they must come to New York sometime (everything does.) Do other genres have conventions?
I'm not anywhere near ready to look for an agent yet, just thinking ahead. Also wondering if there are mystery conventions.

I googled away. Indeed there are:

Wow, Madison! Is that something you could go to?
The idea of meetng agents at a convention is intimidating, but I have a feeling it would be easier to talk to people in an environment where everybody loves sci-fi.
I hope Athena is around, I bet she has convention experience!
Sorry I haven't been around! Actually, I have no convention experience, although I may drop in to Hypericon this year, since it's in my city and I know a few people (Apex and the Robert McCammon boards).
I checked out "The Science Fiction Conventional Calendar" column in the tattered remains of my poor July Asimov's on the subway today... the closest to NY was someplace like Trenton New Jersey. And then there's Boston... I'm sure I'll be able to go to one someday...
