The wonderful thing about technology and marketing is how many people share that passion. Thousands of people read Mashable’s posts, or have twitter accounts but few take the opportunity to participate in the conferences that take place every year.

From TEDx and Ignite to South by Southwest (SXSW), TED Global and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) your possibilities are endless. Beneficial in their own way, I encourage you to attend one of the cool events happing all across the globe.
