Where can I find out about conferences?

Hey NPDers - 

Just wondering if there's anywhere I can go to find out about news design conferences this year? Especially those covering tablet design . . . Please fill me in, and always, thanks!

For news design, SND is the obvious one, with which I am most familiar. The last conference had some good programming. There were a number of tablet sessions. Also check out their quick course schedule at SND.org. One of the best experiences you can have as a news designer is to assist the judging for the annual competition in Syracuse.

Also check out ONA for digital.

Sometimes state newspaper organizations will also hold workshops.

Sorry these are the obvious ones. It's early in the morning...

You can also go to poynter.org. They offer workshops, either online or on location, for visual journalists.
