Allan Jenkins’ complaint has inspired me

At dinner, followed by drinks at the famous BoBi bar in Copenhagen, my long-time friend and colleagueAllan Jenkins expressed some dismay at what has become a common occurrence. He’ll get a call or email from somebody asking, “Are you going to be at the XYZ social media conference in (name city here) next week?”

“It sonds like a great conference,” Allan would reply. “I might have planned to go if I’d learned about it more than a week in advance.”

I feel Allan’s pain. There are so many conferences on social media, and I learn about many of them either after the fact or just before they’re set to begin. What would be great, we agreed, is a single calendar somewhere listing all the upcoming social media conferences. I can’t find one (so if you know of one, please point me to it), so can we start one? I’ll be happy to set up a wiki if others think this is a good idea—and I’m open to alternative means of organizing a collaborative effort to list all these upcoming events (such as Podcamp Boston, BlogWorld, the list goes on…)

Incidentally, that’s Allan below, poking his head between me and Flemming Wiser; Bryan Wilder is on the right. We’re at the BoBi bar, where supposedly you’re not supposed to take pictures.
