I'm in the process of creating a complete list of conferences during 2009 abut data visualization. It would make a great resource to discover new conferences, speakers, presentations or workshops.
Here goes an initial list:
I thank you in advance for contributing your conferences schedule for this year.

I just got an email about this seminar sponsored by the OECD and US Census Bureau:
http://www.oecd.org/document/33/0,3343,en_40033426_40033828_42054241_1_1_1_1,00.html
Here's the description:
Seminar on Innovative Approaches to Turn Statistics into Knowledge, 15-16 July 2009, Washington DC
The seminar can be seen as a continuation of the previous seminars organized in Rome and Stockholm and of the first International Exhibition on “Innovative Tools to Transform Information into Knowledgeâ€Â, organised during the second OECD World Forum on “Statistics, Knowledge and Policy†(Istanbul, 27-30 June 2007).
While dynamic graphics and communication tools are at the heart of the seminar, we also want to focus on a broader range of tools. The seminar will also include the use of videos, as explored by GapMinder and others, and participative approaches, as seen in some web 2.0 initiatives; and – although innovative tools are themselves of great interest, and worthy of being presented at the seminar – the focus of the seminar will be on innovative applications of tools, for example, so-called story-telling applications.We want to look at tools and applications for making statistics more popular, while avoiding the pitfalls of populism, over-simplification or propaganda. We want to base all these initiatives on scientific standards, observing the basic principles of objectivity and good communication. We would therefore welcome experts in statistical methodology, cognitive science, and communication as active participants in the workshop.
It sounds like it could be a good one.
I've collected 6 conferences where the topics around data visualization gets covered over at datavisualization.ch.
It strikes me that datamining conferences would also be of interest (such as http://www.adma2009.org).
Perhaps a search of the Humanist mailing list might yield something too: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/search.html
