For example, we recently had Jared Spool speak for free at Oregon's chapter of SIGCHI, CHIFOO. It was free and jam packed with around 180+ designers.
I'm sure that there are a quite a few groups where designers go to gather and talk about topics that are important to them.
So, my advice is to go to a designer meet up and mingle. Even if you don't find a designer right away, just tell them about your project and they might know a friend of a friend.

I don't know why this is question is asked so much, really.
Ask yourself this, "Where do you go about finding programmers?"
A good answer for this is usually at local meet up groups. Programmers don't have a monopoly on such things.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I didn't even know that designer meetups existed. Thanks!
