We’re halfway through the year, and a lot of things have happened in the tech, digital, marketing, and social media scenes. The landscape is in a constant state of flux, with brilliant minds from all over the world contributing to its evolution.
One thing that every professional in these niches has to prioritize is professional improvement, and that may include learning on one’s own by reading, networking online or via conferences, among other things. That is why we decided to put together a list of tech, digital, and social media conferences you can still look forward to this year.
While some are pretty near (in terms of date), others are still some months away, so you can plan your trip – choose cheap flights via comparison sites, find an affordable hotel via sites such as Uyora, and of course, plan other touristy stuff you can do when not participating in a session.
1. Velocity
According to its organizers, Velocity “is more than a conference – it’s become the essential training event and source of information for web professionals from companies of all sizes.”
What to look forward to? Books, newsletters, industry reports, in-person and online events, among other things.
Check out their web site for specific events as they hold the conference all over the world.
2. The Lean Startup Conference
The Lean Startup Conference is going to be held in December, from the 8th to the 12th in San Francisco, and is already much anticipated, largely thanks to the hype surrounding startups and the Lean method. If you are looking at launching your own startup, or you are in the middle of a project, then this conference might be the one for you.
3. Techweek
Techweek is a series of events held in different cities, and its “mission is to showcase, celebrate and enable emerging innovation ecosystems.” If your burning dream is to make a difference through innovation through tech, then save up for Techweek New York (September 29 to October 5) and/or Techweek LA (November 17 to 23).
4. DLD
DLD (Digital-Life-Design) is an invite-only conference, so you can be sure it’s pretty exclusive. They do welcome applications, though, which you can file here. The conference covers a lot of ground – practically every field out there, with the common theme being digital.
5. FailCon
While some may fear and hide failure, FailCon tackles it head on and helps startup founders to learn from their failures. The conference is going to be held in different cities around the world, including Dubai, Tehran, Porto Alegre, San Francisco, and Toulouse. Here’s a video from one of last year’s events.
