First off, set up "Keyword Alerts" on your BiggerPockets dashboard.

I did see that some of the event coordinators post events on the Dashboard but are there any other sources that you can recommend? 

Go to his profile, and there should be a "send Jerry a message" link on the left hand side (in a gray box).Or, from your dashboard or inbox, you can pick the "Send Private Message", and he should be on your list of users to pick from.If neither of those work, then you should ask Josh or the mods for help.Sorry for going so far off original topic.

To set up your sig, go to the EDIT PROFILE link in your DASHBOARD.

It will answer your questions about colleagues and other features:http://www.biggerpockets.com/sitetour/tour-features.htmlAs for the PMs, not only are you notified by email, but once you login to the dashboard or main site, you are notified of any new messages.
