I thought I would point at several useful upcoming conferences in the
hope that perhaps there would be some members of ietf/isoc "out there"
planning some outreach in this regard.

That is just the first 4 that came to mind, and they are respectively,
in america, australia, berlin, and japan. There are approximately 1
zillion other conferences in that world that an ietf/isoc/bbf/etc
member might find interesting, or have something of their org they'd
like to get in front of a wider audience.
Just my 2.0e-2...
I have direct experience with FOSDEM (https://fosdem.org/2017/) that is
held every year end of January/beginning of February in Bruxelles.
Personally, I like it, I find it very active (~5000 participants/year) and
refreshing (after a year buzz-wording). Joking I say that it looks almost
like IETF's incubator... :-) (the density of geeks per square meter is
similar :-)
The call for contribution has been opened just one week ago.
The best list I know of, is here:
