Here’s our roundup of social media, tech and marketing conferences and events scheduled for the month of June. For the full year, see our Calendar of 2010 social media, tech and marketing conferences. It’s another busy month, and I’ll be kicking it off by flying to New York today for the Mobilize Your Cause Bootcamp (today’s the last day to register) and Personal Democracy Forum (follow the proceedings with the #pdf10 hashtag on Twitter).
