When it comes to training and expert knowledge you can never know enough. There are a variety of events held all over the world solely for marketers, informing them on the latest trends, tip and methods.

You could be doing things the longest way possible and you don’t even know it. By listening to the experts and having conversations with other people in similar roles you can work smarter not harder.

Below is a list of the top digital marketing events in the UK and the rest of the world. We understand some companies have different budgets and needs from an event so may not want to travel far.

However, being avid Inbound attendees we also appreciate the need to attend a big event featuring an array of expert speakers which can be hosted abroad.

Conclusion

Attending events should be part of your marketing strategy, but not for the sake of it. You should pinpoint those that reflect the same outcomes you want to achieve. You should also do your research, talk to people about which events they’ve attended and how useful they found them.

If you’ve never attended a conference or event before then try one of the free ones. Get a feel for what they involve and don’t be scared to talk to other people. People mainly attend these events alone and are in the exact same position as you are.

Our mantra is ‘never stop learning’, which is why we find conferences like these a no brainer. If you’re interested in visiting Inbound but you’re not 100% sure then keep an eye on our blog around the time of the event. As HubSpot partners we take our trip to the states seriously, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible so we live blog from all the sessions from the experts.
