I recently discovered a site that can provide information about upcoming meets and results of completed meets. It does not cover all meets, only those with which there is some affiliation (and I don't know what all that requires.) However, here is the URL to their "about" page.
http://www.directathletics.com/about_us.html
From that page you can select "Upcoming Meets" tab and from that page do a search for meets by date, state, and entry type allowed. From that site you can select a meet and, if you register with Direct Athletics, sign up for the meet.
I would guess, the more that athletes and teams use this site, the more meets will sign up with Direct Athletics to be included on their site. Wouldn't it be great if most of the meets were able to be found on one site!
This seems like a very useful tool, but has anyone had any actual experience with the site, either good or bad, they would like to report?

Convenience comes at a price. I am sure it costs money for the meet directors to have them handle their meet entries, so don't hold your breath waiting for a TON more meets to be on there.
The PV Power Network is set up to list meets, I just don't have enough time enter them myself. If any of you want to enter any meets you know about, feel free. http://www.polevaultpower.com/network/
