Conference season is warming up and there are a lot of community and social media events we will be participating in over the next few months. While the events we’ll be attending are in Boston the conferences will bring in experts from around the country and should be on your short list if they are not already. We’ve also included a few events that we will not be at but are worth checking out as well as some webinars that we will be participating in which are available to all.
