2012 Content Strategy Conferences
Posted by Shelly Bowen on Oct 18, 2011
Content Strategy Conferences: What’s on Your Calendar?
My favorite web, content marketing, and content strategy conferences — as well as inspiring conferences for content professionals — are all penciled in on my calendar. Then there are some I haven’t yet attended. With so many options, I need some direction.
Help?
If you’ve attended any of the following conferences in the last couple years, please let everyone know in the comments whether and why you recommend them. And of course, if there’s a good one I’m missing, let me know.
