Introduction

Hi Rachel,
Maybe some of these regular (and not too individualistic ;) activities 
are what you're looking for:

The Political Lingusitics conference in Warsaw this September looks like 
it has a number of CDA papers; and if you click 'workshops' there are 
two listed (on social psychology and on commitment in political discourse).

The University of Essex in Colchester has a very good summer school in 
Discourse Theory (Laclau and Mouffe's approach to political discourse). 
The Applied Discourse Analysis course was last week but there are still 
some other courses over the next few weeks, and it runs in a similar 
format every summer.

There's the CADAAD conference in 2008 (call for papers 30 Nov 2007) on 
the site Andrea already mentioned.
http://www.cadaad.org/.

The Centre for Discourse Studies at Aalborg University has regular 
workshops and lectures, and used to have a great annual summer school, 
but unfortunately nothing coming up soon - maybe it's worth checking 
occasionally.

All the best,
Flyss
