Here's an organisation that deserves promoting - The International Association for Applied Econometrics. What more can I say?
Well, I had better add something!
First:
"The aim of the Association is to advance the education of the public in the subject of econometrics and its applications to a variety of fields in economics, in particular, but not exclusively, by advancing and supporting research in that field, and disseminating the results of such useful research to the public."
Second:
There next Annual Conference will be held in London, U.K., in June 2014, and the line-up of keynote speakers is impressive. Submissions of papers are due by 1 February 2014, and there is a nice prize for the best paper presented by a graduate student.

They organizers seem very optimistic about the length of a PhD. The form for the prize has a drop down menu that allows you to choose your year of study from "1st year", "2nd year", "3rd year" or "final year".
