Most academic disciplines have national and international organisations to oversee their interests. Scholarly or learned societies do things like organise conferences, publish journals, establish and uphold academic and technical standards, provide continuing education, accredit university courses, mentor and support researchers and act as advocates for their disciplines with government, industry and the public.
It is a very good idea to identify the main professional societies in your disciplines and monitor their websites and other channels of communication.
The Scholarly Societies Project sponsored by the University of Waterloo Library is an excellent place to find organisations of this sort.
