The International Society for Behcet's Disease is made up of physicians and medical professionals around the world who do research on BD, and/or who are experienced in treating Behcet's patients. The ISBD sponsors the international BD conferences, which take place every other year. The ISBD has just posted a PDF file on their website with an overview/outline of the 13th International BD Conference that took place in Austria in May 2008.
WARNING: The PDF is 4.0 MB, and unless you have high-speed internet access, it takes a while to download -- it's 36 pages, but it has some good info. (The second half of the PDF is the most interesting):

According to the ISBD website:
The 14th International Conference on Behcet’s Disease will take place at
Queen Mary College, University of London, 8 - 10 June 2010.
Information on the conference's location (but NOT on the conference itself) can be found here: http://www.ccrs.qmul.ac.uk/conferences
I'm hoping to go to this conference, if the economy ever picks up before 2010 :-O
