Editor's Note: The database was updated on March 29 to reflect pricing changes and newly released event details.

Back by popular demand, our 2012 digital marketing conferences database (download) features nearly 50 events, hand-selected based on their relevance to online marketers, speaker base, industry excitement and networking opportunities.

Similar to last year, the database includes the following information for each conference, providing a quick and easy comparison:

Event name
Description
Date
Location
Attendee summary
Pass cost

Download the free database here.

While all the conferences listed provide the opportunity for networking, ongoing learning and unique experiences, we're most excited about:

South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive — An agency favorite that features emerging technologies, innovative digital strategies, gaming, mobile and more.
Content Marketing World (CMW) — Launched last year in Cleveland, CMW is one of the best-run conferences we’ve ever attended, with quality speakers to match.
HubSpot Inbound — This year's newbie, HubSpot Inbound is a three-day conference focused on inbound marketing that features six keynotes, 40 breakout sessions, expert-led training and certification, and hands-on product demos.

After reviewing the event database, use our free Conference Grader worksheet to further prioritize which events are worth your time and investment. This Excel sheet helps you compare events based on five variables: buzz potential, knowledge, connections, opportunity value and historical performance.

Thanks, Rohit.

We update the database monthly as new information is released on each conference, so I'll be sure to look into PubCon Las Vegas for the next iteration.

Great list, Tracy. Next time you update, please take a second to check out Interactivity Digital. It's a digital marketing conference taking place in South Beach in May of 2013. So far Rand Fishkin, Peter Shankman, and Alan Bleiweiss have been confirmed to speak (with more to be added later). The conference will cover SEO, PPC, email marketing, social media, analytics, and conversion rate optimization.
