Aka "GA-Digest" always starts with a "Calendar of GA-related Events," i.e. a list of upcoming conferences, covering the complete field of EAs (see Q15.1), available from http://www.aic.nrl.navy.mil/galist/
Aka "Alife digest" always starts with a "Calendar of Alife-related Events," that lists conferences, workshops, etc. (cf Q15)
Aka "EP-digest" doesn't list conferences explicitly, like the previously mentioned ones, but carries most CFP's; that can be looked at in the backissues folder: ftp://amazon.eng.fau.edu/pub/ep- list/digest/ (cf Q15)
