Most of the conferences in Computer Science publish proceedings with Springer, IEEE or ACM (even though there are several dozens which self-publish or publish elsewhere). All three publishers have lists of upcoming conferences: **Springer** LNCS: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73665-0 CCIS: http://www.springer.com/series/7899 LNBIP: http://www.springer.com/series/7911 **IEEE** http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/index.html **ACM** http://www.acm.org/calendar-of-events Other great resources are mailing lists: **Mailing lists** DBWorld https://research.cs.wisc.edu/dbworld/ AISWorld http://www.aisnet.org/AIS_Lists/publiclists.aspx ACM SIG-IR list http://www.sigir.org/sigirlist/ ECOOP info list http://web.satd.uma.es/mailman/listinfo/ecoop-info Beware of conferences which do this just for money and not for disseminating knowledge: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ This being said - of course the best way is to ask colleagues working on a topic related to yours - like your supervisors, post-docs from your group etc.
