That's about as far as I got with it, though. I like the wiki idea, but I'm a visual person and would much prefer a calendar view. That's why the ALA list doesn't work well for me, either. I'd be happy to try to help with something like that, especially if I can get a data dump of what ALA already has. I could help publicize it, too, as its success would then depend on conference planners continually updating it, rather than any one entity.

P.S. I love the idea of a library conference planner, but I do not know if I could make a commitment at this time to 'seed' it. Hope someone else takes up the challenge though!

Still certainly not a complete international list, but a whole lot more than "ALA conferences" in the sense of Annual and Midwinter.
