The summer’s half gone already! Here’s our roundup of social media, tech and marketing conferences and events scheduled for the month of August.
For the full year, see our Calendar of 2010 social media, tech and marketing conferences. We’ve also published a roundup of nonprofit and social change conferences and events on our sister site, Socialbrite.
We’ll publish a list of noteworthy conferences and events at the beginning of every month during the year. Hope to see you at some of these! If you know of other must-attend events, please share by posting the info in the comments at the bottom.
| Conference | Date | Place |
|---|---|---|
| August | ||
| Techonomy Conference | Aug. 4-6 | Lake Tahoe |
| We’ve seen the failure of markets in September 2008, the failure of international action in Copenhagen last December and the great difficulty Washington has getting things done. If we want solutions to major problems, the institutions, tools and resources we have now will not suffice. We have got to look to innovation, both technological and social. |  |
