Introduction: The Society continued its efforts in organizing the smaller one-day Coptic Studies conferences, or Coptic MiniConferences. These quarterly gatherings are designed to give more opportunities to students in the field rather than established scholars. Though the contribution of the latter is welcomed. Each MiniConference includes a small book exhibit and demonstrations of the Society's on-going work. Attendance: About 16 persons were in attendance during the two sessions of this MiniConference. Attendees were primarily members of the Society in the Southern California Area.
