4 Reasons You Should Attend Social Media Marketing World in San Diego
Do you attend in-person conferences?
Imagine an event where you rub shoulders with the social media pros you follow and admire online.
Then imagine networking with 1,000 fellow marketers in beautiful San Diego, California.
Now add the waterfront San Diego Marriott Marquis hotel, an opening-night party surrounded by dinosaur relics, an evening networking cruise on Southern California’s largest private yacht and 49 expert-led sessions.
That’s a small sampling of what’s in store for you at Social Media Examiner’s new conference: Social Media Marketing World!
What? Social Media Examiner is hosting a physical conference?

And yes, these events bring together the world’s top social media experts and entrepreneurs, and gather huge worldwide audiences.
But social media marketing doesn’t need to be strictly an online experience. There’s great value when you make those online relationships come alive in person.
