There's LeakyCon in May in Boston. http://www.leakycon.com/ Despite being in May there's no information up on their website about scheduled programming or the like. 

While not a Harry Potter conference, there's another event that might be of interest to fans. Sirens is a conference focused on women in literature. That's being held this fall (Oct 1-4) in Vail, Colorado, organised by the same folks who gave us Terminus and Phoenix Rising. That's where I'll be headed, as the timing and/or distance doesn't work for anything else for me this year. http://www.sirensconference.org/

There's also a Twilight/Harry Potter event happening in April called AccioCon. Absolutely no relation the lovely Accio events that took place in the UK. http://www.acciocon.com/  I could find nothing on their website to indicate who is planning this event or any indication of non-profit status. There also appears to be minimal formal programming and lots of fangirl type activities. 

I think anyone's best bets for events this year appear to be Azkatraz and, for a non-HP event, Sirens.
