Every 3 years (since 1975) there is a Marcel Grossmann meeting on Gen Rel
http://www.icra.it/MG/Welcome.htm
in 2003 the tenth Marcel Grossmann meeting (MG10) was in Rio. except in one of the parallel sessions, there was almost no Loop QG presence, or other non-string QG. the organization apparently reflected conservative and traditional views of the program committee

in 2006 the MG11 meeting will be at the Free University of Berlin 23-29 July.

the program is still being worked out. tentatively there will be a parallel session on QG ("the quantum and gravity") at which Jerzy Lewandowski will talk
to see a rough draft of the parallel sessions, click on "program" in the left margin menu bar (I couldn't find anything describing the planned plenary sessions)
Here's a sample:
QG1 Quantum Gravity Phenomenology
Giovanni Amelino–Camelia
QG2 Quantum Fields
Volodia Belinski
QG3 New developments and the time issue in quantum gravity
---
QG4 Casimir effect and short-range gravity
---
QG5 Loop quantum gravity, quantum geometry, spin foams
Jerzy Lewandowski
QG6 Quantum cosmology and quantum effects in the early Universe
Paulo Moniz
BTW the original plan was to have MG11 in Saint Petersburg Russia, but practical problems arose and the venue was changed---I would guess rather recently
