If you're in Missouri, as most of our members are, there are at least three conferences you won't want to miss in 2011. First of all, BOUCHERCON is coming to St. Louis next year! As most mystery writers are aware, BOUCHERCON is one of the biggest fan-based writers conferences around. This one moves around a lot, so having it held in St. Louis is a real plus!
Secondly, Missouri Writers Guild's conference always has a great assortment of editors and publishers. This year, an editor from Avalon will be on hand. Get your pitches ready!
While OWFI meets in Oklahoma City, it's close enough that I've included it in this list of potential Missouri conferences for 2011. Editors and agents swarm to this one as well.
For more info on any of these conferences, check the side link on this blog. I've linked to each of these three.

Shirley, this is great. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I hope several Sleuths attend conferences in 2011. They're so valuable and helpful. Writing is such a solitary activity that it's always great to meet other such souls.
