As some of my long term followers know, I don't think that we normally get the best and brightest of trainers giving seminars in the New England area. I am not making a statement on any of the ones below, this is for "your own information", and there may or may not be ones that I would personally attend. For those of us that can't travel long distances all the time to attend seminars and events (great venues to proof your training), here are some in our area:
First of all, let me give you some sources of where one can look for seminars in the New England area:
Dog Seminars Yahoo Group
K9 -New England
Down East Dog News
Mainepets (though has not been working correctly for awhile now)
Saccarappa Dog Obedience Club
Doberman Rescue Unlimited
Riverside Canine Center
TNT Kennels
All Dogs Gym and Inn
American K9 Country
MasterPeace Dog Training
Then I do a number of searches based on key words like "Maine dog seminars 2010, Massachusetts dog seminars 2010, Vermont dog seminars 2010, Rhode island dog seminars 2010, Connecticut dog seminars 2010, New England dog seminars 2010", which I infrequently but sometimes get lucky at. Then I usually do a search for dog trainers by state, and see if any are big enough to regularly give seminars. Then I search for the same states by dog obedience clubs.

It took me many hours to do this searching by the way. I am sure that I missed many seminars in the area. If you know of one, forward it to me, and I will post it the next time, if I think it is an appropriate seminar for the scope of this blog.
