Are you looking for possible publication or presentation outlets?  Are you in the humanities or social sciences?  If so you might want to explore H-Net.

H-Net is an international grouping of online scholarly networks.  It offers a wide array of specialized discussion lists you can join by subscription, and the subscription applications are screened.  Since the H-Net website wisely mentions that each list averages between 15 and 60 messages a week, you can decide if a list is worth joining.

A particularly useful feature of H-Net is the Announcements section.  This section includes conference invitations, fellowships,  various websites, and calls for papers.

Obviously the best way to evaluate H-Net is to examine it yourself.   At the very least the publication possibilities merit a look.
