B2B & Marketing Automation Events for 2010

With a tight economy, many Marketers are forgoing important national trade shows to keep focused on their main job: to manage the processes which allow for the gathering, storing, analyzing, sharing, and acting up on data that drives revenue for their firms. However, in this brave new world of Network Centric Marketing, it pays to make the investment in knowing your peers in other industries and learning about the newest tools that will make your job easier. So to keep up with the many facets of advertising, behavioral marketing, business intelligence, search, social networking, web analytics, email marketing and demand generation, there are many choices to make.
If money were no object, here is the travel itinerary that The Marketing Consigliere would make for keeping abreast of the latest and greatest practices in the Network Centric Marketing and/or B2B world. Please note that there are many sister or worthwhile conferences across the pond, but only United States-based ones are being mentioned and some of these are regional versions of national events. While the list is not complete, it is comprehensive; Except for Dreamforce, Salesforce.com‘s “mother” of all marketing automation user conferences, other specific companies’ user conferences have been omitted. Be sure to make at least one of these this year and both your career and firm will benefit:
