50+ of the Best Digital Marketing Conferences 2021
50+ digital, eComm and mobile events happening across the globe considered most crucial to attend if you care anything about the customer experience.
Not just an excuse to eat, drink, and let your hair down a little, digital conferences are where you network with like-minded professionals, learn from the best of them, and meet your most valuable prospects.
This year, however, things look a bit different. Organizations and event designers are still facing restrictions for large in-person gatherings due to COVID-19. But with vaccination distribution ramping up, so is optimism that we’ll be able to get back to networking and knowledge sharing with the best and brightest in-person in the near future.
Over the past year, we’ve seen organizations pull off incredible feats, pivoting full event plans to virtual formats, without compromising quality. And as many rely on digital gatherings for the time being, many brands and organizations are continuing to seek out conferences they can attend virtually in 2021, while also looking to get some dates marked on their calendars for in-person conferences later this year.
But given the unsavory time it takes to research and plot out the most relevant marketing events, you might be feeling a little less than prepared. Thankfully, though, we’ve done most of the hard work for you. Aside from paying your way, of course (although, a few are of no cost at all).
Below, find a curated list of digital marketing conferences big and small, virtual and in-person, happening across the globe that we consider crucial if you care anything about the customer experience. And hey, you might even see us there.
