Content Marketing World, September 28-October 1, Cleveland, Ohio and virtual<\/h2>\n<p>The Content Marketing Institute&#8217;s main conference is in its tenth year and boasts an expected attendance of 4,000+ people. Also, it is not being held until the end of September in Cleveland, Ohio, and there is a virtual option for those who are still skittish about being in a group that large. Furthermore, you will join content marketers from companies like Tyson, Discover, Nestle, Volvo, and even Microsoft and Walmart, making for an exciting learning opportunity. <strong>Rating: 5.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2. Content Marketing Conference, April 27-29, virtual only<\/h2>\n<p>This conference launching at the end of April will be entirely virtual but is reasonably priced and includes online access to conference content after it is over. Although it includes keynotes and speakers like any conference would, it is also set up like an online course with certifications for those that complete the content. <strong>Rating: 5.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>3. Inbound, October 12-14, Boston, Mass. and virtual<\/h2>\n<p>This conference is sponsored by HubSpot and seems to draw a good number of high profile speakers like John Legend and Disney CEO Bob Iger. Organizers are hopeful for an in-person experience by the October date scheduled but are currently only offering virtual tickets online. The free Starter Pass is a way for anyone to participate online but offers limited access. <strong>Rating: 4.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>4. MozCon, July 12-14, virtual only<\/h2>\n<p>Mozcon is mainly focused on SEO and includes speakers, Q&amp;A, and virtual networking for around 2,000 participants. Several Moz executives are typically speakers, along with other SEO experts. The moderate price of $129 includes access to video content after the conference. <strong>Rating: 4.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>5. B2B Marketing Exchange, Content2Conversion, February 22-24, virtual only<\/h2>\n<p>The Content2Conversion track of this conference is part of the larger B2B Marketing Exchange conference. It draws about 500 attendees that want to focus on Content Marketing. All aspects of content marketing are covered, along with Lunch and Learn sessions and certification for completing the track successfully. Of course, with the pandemic still raging around the country, this event is virtual this year. <strong>Rating: 4.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>6. Confab, May 5-7, virtual only<\/h2>\n<p>Confab is focused on content strategy: planning, designing, building, or managing content. Engagement is encouraged through small group watch parties and a Slack workspace that allows conversations to develop. The conference is on the pricy side but is meant for mid to large-sized companies with positions for content providers and strategists. <strong>Rating: 4.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>7. ContentTech Summit, June 8-10, virtual only<\/h2>\n<p>This conference is also put on by Content Marketing Institute but focuses on the technology side of content. Its stated purpose is &#8220;to deliver value to you \u2013 the professionals who want to understand the best practices of how to create, manage, deliver, and scale the approach of intelligent content in your business.&#8221; <strong>Rating: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Media Shower is committed to providing top notch content marketing services to its customers.
