I just bumped into a group that I plan to be spending sometime with:

Part of the American Engineering Society, the NYC chapters have monthly presentations on professional audio engineering topics.

The next one's on the 16th of October.

The parent organization is having a conference Oct. 5 - 8 th at the Javitts Center in NYC.
