Must-Attend Digital Marketing Events In Singapore In 2020

Going to conferences is a very good way to experience growth and progress in the ever-dynamic digital market. When you gain additional knowledge from leaders who have built successful businesses, learn about recently developed tools, and connect with your colleagues, as well as network with new people, your business cannot be the same again.

You should consider two things before attending a conference or summit. One, how relevant is it to your area of expertise? Check the proposed topics for the event, is it something you need? Are you sure you don’t already have knowledge of the topic? Secondly, if you aren’t attending only for the knowledge, what valuable network can you make at the event?

These are important questions you ask yourself in order to be sure the endeavour is worth your time and money (if money is involved). Many people have started holding valuable webinars and you should lookout for these webinars if your intention is to gain knowledge. There are many FREE trainings and workshops for newbies.

What Digital Marketing Conferences Should You Attend?

Growth occurs every day, so also does change. Technology doesn’t rest, neither do developers. Why should you as a marketer stop learning? What you want for your brand will determine the type of events you will prefer to attend.

The stage you are at in your business will determine if you want to grab as much knowledge as you can or you want to focus on in-depth learning of a specific part. Will too much information be overwhelming for you of you’d rather take in knowledge in bits.

You may also want to think about the kind of conference it will be. What method will the speaker or facilitator adopt to reach his audience?

Another thing is the location. Do you need to travel to attend? How will that affect your business? If you work for an organization, is your organization willing to allow you to attend if it is during work hours?

What about the cost? Can you cover the fee for a paid conference? Will your company do? For paid events, there is usually an early bird offer that slashes or reduces the original price. Grab early bird discounts, if you can.

Once you can answer these questions yourself, you can handpick the one that suits your needs.

Our list is a combination of marketing conferences, marketing tech summits that focus on a broad spectrum of topics based on SEO, social media use and marketing, brand and content marketing.
