There are several event listings services of interest to the LIS research community. Listed below are the major sites that offer broad coverage, both in terms of subject and geographic location:

If you are organising a conference, or are looking for a conference at which to present your work, you may like to use WikiCFP, which is a wiki site for calls for papers. This includes a number of sections of relevance to LIS, such as information science, information management, information systems, and knowledge management.
