There are a host of other smaller events as well, for example the social media breakfast events, or the local social media meetups. Join socialmedia.com. Also look out for blogger meetups in your area. Just recently attended a meet up with Gary Vaynerchuk which was a lot of fun, but not publicized. Connect with folks online through twitter and read popular social media blogs (alltop.com), they usually mention which events are going on where.
There are also a bunch of events overseas, but realistically you can't go to all of them! Check out http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/2075/ they have a decent list of upcoming events, haven't been to many of these though. Hope this helps, Bob, if not let me know.
