Dear All, 

After my call for suggestions on the list (July 5), I received various responses, and I would like to thank warmly the people who replied. I made for myself a personal list of 30+ design conferences (below). Of course, it is far to be a comprehensive list and it is much biased by my own filters but I thought it could be of interest for you, your colleagues or students.

Best,

Stéphane
