The Ulti­mate Guide to con­fer­ences & events, month by month

JD LasicaFor the past three years I’ve painstak­ingly put together a cal­en­dar of the best social media, tech­nol­ogy, media and mar­ket­ing con­fer­ences for the upcom­ing year. Here’s the list for 2010.

This is not intended to be an all-encompassing list, and many of the con­fer­ences out­side of the United States aren’t listed here. I’ve also left out some tra­di­tional news­pa­per con­fer­ences and some of the wor­thy but fast-changing Bar­Camps, Pod­Camps, Mobile­Camps and Social Media Club gath­er­ings around the coun­try. If you know of other must-attend events, please add them by post­ing in the com­ments at the bot­tom and I’ll add them as I can.

Also please check out our Cal­en­dar of 2010 social change, non­profit and media reform con­fer­ences on our sis­ter site, Socialbrite.org. It’s the first cal­en­dar of its kind that I’ve spotted!

You prob­a­bly arrived here from a retweet on Twit­ter (or a Google search), so fol­low me here if you’d like: @jdlasica. Con­fer­ences marked with an * indi­cate that I’ll be speak­ing or attending.

We’re adding all of these to the social media events Google cal­en­dar, in the right nav of this blog, even as we speak. It’s a pub­lic cal­en­dar, so you should be able to copy to your own cal­en­dars if you’d like.

Great list, JD! Thanks much for list­ing so many O’Reilly events, we appre­ci­ate it–and appre­ci­ate your pres­ence at ‘em too! Just a date cor­rec­tion for Web 2.0 Expo NY–it will be in mid-October (still firm­ing up dates). Gov 2.0 Sum­mit will be in Sep­tem­ber 2010, however.

Thank you for this list, JD! Would be great if you could add TWTRCON NY. It’s June 14 at the New York Hilton http://twtrcon.com/ — the one-day con­fer­ence focused entirely on the busi­ness use of Twit­ter, with case stud­ies and best prac­tices from lead­ing orga­ni­za­tions that are using the real-time web to deliver bottom-line results. Thanks!
