There's another at http://www.esa.int/esaCP/index_Calendar.html
I thought setting up a calendar would be a good idea at one point,
too. Then I saw how many are out there already, and the enormity of
the task sunk in. Not only are there a lot of calendars out there,
but many events are already on many of the calendars. But they are on
there with metadata that was interpreted by the calendar keeper from
the source material about the conference.
It's ironic that this is essentially the same kind of thing that
plagues the geo data world. Lots of datasets get shipped around,
slowly losing their ties to the source data set as people use and
reuse the data.
The ideal solution is the same. Standardized metadata attached to the
source material in a crawlable way. Make sure the catalogs (in this
case, calendars) retain pointers to the source material.

Cameron,
The GSDI people maintain a list of conferences at:
http://www.gsdi.org/events/upcnf.asp
This may help.

[Aust-NZ] Geospatial Events Calendar?
Has anyone set up (and maintaining) a Geospatial Events Calendar?
Ideally one that I can import into my Google Calendar.
It would be useful for picking future OSGeo conference dates that
don't
clash.
