I'll gladly consider listing conferences and workshops in any country in any language. They must have web pages and must be related to open access, broadly conceived.
Events marked by two asterisks are recent additions to the list. Use your browser to search for ** to find just the new listings. I leave the second asterisk on new entries until the day after I publish the next issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, which is monthly.
Conference titles in bold are especially relevant to open access.
If you are a frequent visitor, press REFRESH (Explorer) or RELOAD (Firefox) on occasion to be sure that you are viewing the most recent version of the page, not the version cached from your last visit.
If you attend one of these conferences, consider sharing your observations through the open-access discussion forum.

Past ConferencesOnce a month, I move past conferences from the list above to this list. Past event listings are useful primarily because event organizers often put their proceedings (or a link to their proceedings) at the original conference site. I make no effort to keep the links in this section up to date.
I started listing past conferences in June 2002. For links to OA-related conferences prior to that, see the back issues of the FOS Newsletter. At the end of each issue, there is a list of upcoming conferences.
