Interestingly, this is actually a topic that's come up in planning for ASA (Acoustical Soc. of Amer.) mtgs which I heard about at the 'women's brunch' at the last meeting. The big problem they're having is finding the money for it. I suspect this is especially hard as the sub-disciplines that are addressed at the ASA meeting that have most women are also the ones that have less overall funding (for example the linguists and psychology crowd, vs the physics/signals crowd) and so they're also the ones who want to keep the price of the meetings as low as possible.
