Our Conference provides opportunities for readers, authors and publishers of historical fiction to meet others who share their interest and to learn more about historical fiction from experienced presenters. Conferences also create opportunities for both published and unpublished authors to discuss their work with others, including professionals in the field, such as Agents and Editors. In June 2025 we held a live conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, attended by 369 members, nonmembers, and students who were present on-site and another 263 who attended virtually. Preparations are underway for a live conference to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in June 2027.
