If you’re reading this blog, you’ve hopefully learned something about social media by now (even if only one thing), but reading one blog, even reading 100, can only get you so far. The next thing to do is network. Social media is all about online networking, so naturally you should supplement your social media presence by networking with other social media professionals in person. Here are 24 relevant social media events and conferences throughout the world to look out for from May until December (by geographic region.)
