Content Marketing Events in 2014: The Ultimate List

ultimatelist_contentmarketingevents (1)

Marketers are a busy group of professionals, no doubt. However, regardless of the availability of webinars, virtual events and Google Hangouts, we still get a lot of value from good old fashioned in-person interaction at an event. That being said, I’m still very cautious as to where I allocate my time as a CMO throughout the year for in-person events; as well as the time and resources of my team and my organization. Therefore, each year, I pull together a list of marketing events to consider; focused specifically on content marketing as well as general marketing.

I’ve included this list below across a couple of categories. If you think I’ve missed an event or if you’d like to add insight about your experience with one of these events, please do so below in the comments section. I’ve also included the name of the organization managing the event and the estimated number of attendees since these help me to assess the value of the event.
