2020 proved to be a challenging year for marketing and social media marketing conferences.
Many were cancelled and postponed. Lucky for us, some of our favorite marketing events were able to carry on in virtual formats and some were even able to offer in-person experiences. 🙌
As we dive into a new year, we can still expect the majority of marketing conferences to be held remotely.
We can also expect that the hosts of these incredible events will continue working tirelessly to recreate the same in-person conference experiences we grew to love in the pre-COVID era.
Below you’ll find an active list of the top marketing and social media conferences you can attend in 2021. 👇

Wrap-up
In 2020, conference hosts scrambled to pivot to a virtual-first world. Over the course of the year, these events have adapted and evolved to enhance the virtual experience and we can expect that the marketing and social media conferences in 2021 will do an even better job of creating an in-person experience through a virtual format.
We are seeing several conferences listed as in-person, but we’ll have to wait and see how the world adapts to COVID19 as we make our way through the year.
As of now, we can remain grateful that so many events are still taking place this year and we can continue to learn and network through these conferences. Hopefully, we’ll be able to cross paths at a marketing conference as the year progresses 🤞
Did we miss a conference?
We will continue to update this post regularly. If we missed an event, please email datis@heyorca.com to get it listed.
