Upcoming conferences in algebraic geometry

Here is a list of upcoming conferences involving algebraic geometry that I'm aware of. It may included some unrelated conferences that I may attend. For more information, check on google. I intend to keep this list reasonably up to date, but I make no guarantees. Please help me keep this current. It certainly isn't complete. My definition of algebraic geometry is broad, arbitrary, and changes with time; it currently includes commutative algebra, arithmetic geometry, and the langlands programme.

EAGER (European Algebraic Geometry Research Training Network) maintains an excellent list of conferences as well. I hope to periodically copy their list into this one. Kristian Ranestad encourages people to send conference information to EAGER as well (even if they are not in Europe).
