Shannon Clark pinged me today about MeshForum, an event we are supporting as a media sponsor, scheduled for 1-4 May in Chicago:

MeshForum's mission is to bring together and connect networks - around the subject of networks. Our conferences will offer an interdisciplinary forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas, expertise, and experiences. On the web we are working on pulling together resources - lists of experts and researches, biobliographies, organizations working in and researching Networks, events and more. We are exploring other options to further foster and support research across boundries into Networks - these may include in the future a peer reviewed journal, invited guest bloggers, podcasts of MeshForum 2005, and other means to share and spread information.

The registration page is here.
