Lucia Giacomantonio, Adriana Gascoigne and Robyn Cohen at Web 2.0 Expo, April 2009.
For the past three years I’ve painstakingly put together a calendar of the best social media, technology, media and marketing conferences for the upcoming year. Here’s the list for 2010.
This is not intended to be an all-encompassing list, and many of the conferences outside of the United States aren’t listed here. I’ve also left out some traditional newspaper conferences and some of the worthy but fast-changing BarCamps, PodCamps, MobileCamps and Social Media Club gatherings around the country. If you know of other must-attend events, please add them by posting in the comments at the bottom and I’ll add them as I can.
You probably arrived here from a retweet on Twitter (or a Google search), so follow me here if you’d like: @jdlasica. Conferences marked with an * indicate that I’ll be speaking or attending.
