Guide to events & conferences for the coming month
BlogWorld Expo, Social CRM and Social Media Prom are just some of the conferences on tap for this month. Here’s our roundup of social media, tech and marketing conferences and events for the month of November. We can’t vouch for whether the Innovation Summit is still happening in Sonoma County later this month — they didn’t bother to answer our query.
For the full year, see our full Calendar of 2011 social media, tech and marketing conferences. And Socialbrite has our calendar of nonprofit and social change events for the month.
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.
