Hello good people,
Does anyone have any cunning tricks for finding congresses at which to attend and/or present their work? I mean, aside from the obvious 'ask your supervisor', 'type it in google'...
Are there any particular websites that list congresses by category?

I've been told by my ever-so helpful supervisor, as with everything during my phd, to 'go and find it yourself'. How did you guys go about this, when/if told the same thing?

Thanks a million billion in advance!! :-)

Join relevant research groups and study associations; they should have information on conferences that would be helpful.

This site http://www.conferencealerts.com/ is good if a little clunky, it will also email you when conferences you are interested in come up!
(I'm assuming congresses mean the same as conferences, I'm not well up on these kinda things :P )

I've never heard them referred to as congresses either. Searching for conferences would probably throw up better results at least!

Doh, yeah I'm studying in France and they call them 'congrès' here, I just made a half-arsed translation! I do really mean 'conference'!
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
