Marketing conferences are making a comeback; the long-awaited reprieve from COVID is shining through. In person conferences are starting to be acceptable to many businesses and industries; don’t get left behind this year while folks are gathering for the 1st time in two years to share successes, pivots, fails, and new best practices that have been learned by the army of marketers fighting the good fight through the pandemic.
Some marketing conferences that are traditionally held in Q1 were canceled or delivered digitally, which as we all know from the past two years, not quite the same as in-person engagement; these same conferences have shown their commitment and eagerness to return by scheduling their 2023 event details this early. Congratulations Social Media Examiner for planning a full year in advance – you will be sure to be on our 2023 Top Conferences to attend.
