Great question, @DonnaRae! I'm helping organize the New England Crime Bake this year (November). I'm also the Chair of the Programming Committee for the Mavens of Mayhem (the Upper Hudson Valley chapter of Sisters in Crime). In that capacity I'm organizing all of our monthly speakers for 2027. I plan on attending Malice Domestic next year (already registered!) and maybe Bouchercon 2027 since it'll be in DC/easier to get to. Not sure yet about attending other conventions (my teaching schedule makes attending lots of conferences kind of challenging, so I need to pick and choose which ones to go to).
