Lumos is it for this year in terms of larger events - Patronus took 
place in Europe last week, iirc. Lumos is sold out, too, but you can 
still buy tickets from people who can no longer go via the message 
boards at http://www.lumos2006.org.

Next year, there's Phoenix Rising in New Orleans in May, Sectus (a 
slash-and-fanfic-centric event) in London in July and Prophecy in 
Toronto in August, and some aussies are talking about doing something in 
07 too. And there's a few things happening in NYC on August 1 & 2 in 
connection with the JKR reading at Radio City.

FictionAlley has a forum with posts about upcoming events - you can find 
it at

it has links to all the above events.
