One of my first orders of business in any new year is to figure out which conferences I will attend as part of my personal development plan. With that in mind, I asked my social media connections “what are the best marketing conferences?”
The list of the best marketing conferences I compiled is based on the feedback I received from dozens of people so if I missed any, please let me know and add it to the comments below.
One of the things that stuck out for me right away is the diversity. There are events covering just about every topic in marketing today: social media, online marketing, search engine marketing, inbound marketing, branding, marketing leadership, content marketing, direct marketing, business marketing and more.
In full disclosure, I am speaking at a few of these and have identified those where I have been confirmed. So if you are attending these particular events, please look me up and come say hello. I can’t wait to meet you #IRL .
