Bouchercon, named for the late Anthony Boucher, mystery
critic for both the NY *Times* and *EQMM*, is also known as
the World Mystery Convention and is the oldest, and largest
continuing mystery convention. Usually held in the US
(alternating between the Eastern Seaboard, the Midwest, and
the West Coast), it has traveled abroad in recent years. At
least once, it was held in the UK.
I don't know the URL for the 2001 Bouchercon (to be held in
Washington, DC) off-hand, nor for the 2002 (to be held in
Austin, Texas), but a search engine should turn them up
without too much of a problem.
