[1] Other than NetSci, the big annual networks meeting, of course, which will be 2-6 June 2014, in Berkeley CA, organized by Raissa D'Souza and Neo Martinez.

[2] It has not escaped my attention that I am either an organizer or speaker at many of these meetings.

There is also the Sunbelt meeting.

Dynamics Days in January (2-5) has a lot of networks stuff in most years

There are also European meetings like ECCS and European Dynamics Days.
