2011 Digital Marketing Conferences

Inbound Marketing Summit 2009[Editor's Note: PR 20/20 published an updated version of this post with 2012 events. It can be accessed here.]

Conferences offer a great opportunity to enhance your skill sets, share ideas and strategies, and network with others in the industry. And, January is the perfect time to begin planning which conferences you’ll attend in 2011 (as most offer early-bird discount pricing).

To help you evaluate this year’s digital marketing conferences, we’ve compiled a free 2011 conference calendar database, featuring 29 different events across the United States. Events were selected based on their relevance to online marketing, speaker base, opportunities for networking, and industry excitement.

For each conference, we’ve included a description, date, location, attendee summary and ticket cost for easy review and prioritization by your team.

Interested in a sneak peek at some of the events? See below for highlights of our favorites.

SXSW InteractiveMarch 11-15 in Austin, TX

As a past attendee of SXSW, I can vouch that this is a must-attend event for tech-savvy professionals. It’s jam-packed with interesting, engaging sessions that span all things interactive and features top-of-the-line speakers. Breakouts cover the best new digital works and innovative ideas the international community has to offer.

In addition, SXSW offers tremendous networking opportunities to mingle with some of the industry’s best and brightest – whether in the hallways, or at the planned parties and networking events throughout the week.

Planning on attending? Paul Roetzer, Keith Moehring, Laurel Miltner, Dia Dalsky and I (Tracy DiMarino) will be representing PR 20/20 at SXSW this year, and we’d love to connect with you!

For additional learning and networking, check out PubCon, which will be held right before SXSW in Austin on March 8-10.
