2010 Marketing Conferences
Every year more and more conferences join the scene for social media, online advertising, online marketing, blogging, internet retail, web analytics, social networks, conversion, PPC, Search Engine Optimization, SEO, SMM, SEM, and any other buzz word that relates to business online.
So with each year these conferences come and go and each year I tend to go to the same conferences. Hey, I love seeing old friends and making a few along the way but this year I want to branch out more than I have in the past. To do this I will need your help in finding out about every 1-8 day type conference anywhere on the globe. Now I wont make most of them as I live in Chicago but I would think that there are many other people in this pickle.
So I ask that you take a look at the list below and if you have a small conference (or are running one) please contact me or leave a comment below with information about it. I would love to create a huge list so that everyone can find a local (or not so local) conference that they can attend. So promote and pimp your conference or just help out others and shoot over anything that I have missed.

Marcus,
That is of course the one conference I would love to go to. I mean, who wouldnt? Besides how can you beat seeing Avi & Boser in lederhosen?!? I will add it in the update I am doing tonight.
Marcus says:
Ha, well... Avi & Boser in Lederhosens is not that pretty LOL :-)
I prefer our playmates in Dirndl´s :-)
daver says:
Well I cant argue there. The playmates would win the Hot factor hands down but the WOW factor - could be close.
