conferences in the main area not buried in meetups

[Littleshop]

All of the conference information is buried in meetups.  Unfortunately many people do not know to look there.  Can major conferences be allowed to have a thread in the main board?   They are more then just meetups that are happening all over the country on a near daily basis, there are about one each month or less and they are a major source of good press and information for Bitcoin. 

Meetups are near daily events with 1-50 people.  Conferences are monthly with usually well over 500 and more like 1000 peolple, they should be treated a little differently.
