Alerts for Academic Conferences Worldwide

Wondering what's going on in academia around the world? Check out Conference Alerts at http://www.conferencealerts.com . This site provides both information on academic conferences around the world and e-mailed updates about the conferences themselves.

The front page contains links to a variety of conference categories, including art history, statistics, physics, e-learning, and public health. Choose a category and you'll get a listing of events in order of date (the Mining category lists events out to 2007.) The listing page only includes the date of the event, the location, and the title. Click on the title and you'll get varying amounts of information. The absolute minimum looks to be the date, location, and the Web site, but other listings have more elaborate information including the name and contact information for an organizer, a description of the conference, and a call for papers/proposals.

You can also subscribe to receive alerts about the conferences in which you're interested. The privacy policy is on the main registration page ("We will not divulge your contact details to anybody else.") and a variety of questions are asked, including your relation to academic conferences, names of any e-mail lists, journals, and Web sites you contribute to, etc.
