San Francisco Writers Conference

Quoting from the web site (no personal experience):

'The 2008 Conference will feature more than 100 agents, authors and editors.

Attendees will have access to more than forty "how to" sessions, panels, and workshops taught by authors you know and love. Speed Dating for Agents and Speed Dating for Editors are unique one-on-one opportunities to pitch your work directly to these publishing professionals. Celebrity book signings and social gatherings with other writers add to the excitement of the event.

From start to finish, the San Francisco Writers Conference is designed to help you Build Bridges To Better Tomorrows. We've sold out early three years in a row.ﾠ Remember to register early for next year's conference.'
