Specifically:

<div class="vevent">
  <h1 class="name summary">Web 2.0 Conference 2006</h1>
<abbr class="dtstart" title="2006-11-07">Tuesday, November 7,
2006</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="2006-11-09">Thursday,
November 9, 2006</abbr>
<a href="http://www.web2con.com/web2006/"
class="url">http://www.web2con.com/web2006/</a>
<a href="http://upcoming.org/event/86254/" class="alternate">This
event on Upcoming</a>
</div>

So there we have the official event URL and then an alternate URL that
specfically pertains to the event but is not definitive. Seems useful
to me and in the spirit of other uses of 'alternate'.

Perhaps we should really use rel='alternate' in this case, but I'm not
sure how I feel about that.
