On February 20 and 21, 2010 the first convention for bookmark collectors will take place online. For 24 hours, bookmark collectors from all over the world will meet to give and attend seminars, view galleries, shop, swap, and socialize with other collectors and enthusiasts. For many collectors, this will be the first time they will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their passion with other enthusiasts, live.
If you collect bookmarks, make bookmarks, or are curious about bookmarks; if you are interested in ephemera, biblio-paraphernalia, craft samplers, book history, small art, or collectibles; or if you are interested in seeing the first virtual convention for collectors of any sort, then stop by the website and register for the Bookmark Collectors Virtual convention.
Convention Websites are BMCVC and Bookmark Convention. Organizers are Alan Irwin, [email protected] and Lauren Roberts, [email protected], who also runs the website Bibliobuffet. In My Book® will participate in the convention as a vendor.

Sorry I cannot attend I will be attending the national buggy whip convention.

Sounds fascinating, hope you enjoy the buggy whip convention.
What do you do with those buggy whips anyway? I imagine some of them must be very valuable.
