While many blogs, webinars and books can help us keep up with the changing digital trends, we believe that a lot more can happen over a cup of coffee… at a conference.. which is full of like minded people. You can connect with experts in your field, build your network and even grab a new business.

So here is our list of top 10 conferences where you can hear a lot of experts talking about amazing things and where new ideas take birth. Mark your calendars right away.

1. Traffic and Conversion Summit

This 3 day knowledge-packed summit will not only cover information on new traffic channels or conversion strategies but also showcase discussions on live video, Facebook video, content marketing and lots more.

2. Social Media Marketing World

This conference is hosted by Social Media Examiner. And believe us, Mike Stezlner has an ocean of social knowledge.

Other speakers in this conference include Guy Kawasaki (chief evangelist, Canva), Brian Clark (Founder, Copyblogger). The list is really long and very very exciting.

So don’t miss out on this one. If we had Hermione’s time-turner, this is where we would use it (Conversion Summit’s end date coincides with the start date of this one). But hey, it’s San Diego for both!
