Top B2B Industry Events (Aug. 10 to Sept. 30, 2016)

Meeting face-to-face is as important as ever. In fact, more than one half of IT decision makers prefer in-person communication for strategic advice, making face-to-face events a valuable channel in your marketing strategy, according to customer engagement research from IDG Enterprise, a Framingham, Mass.-based enterprise technology media, data and services company. 

What industry events would you like to attend in the coming weeks? Our planner gives you the heads-up on key conferences and events.

If we've missed a conference of interest — anything related to digital experience, customer experience, information management, enterprise collaboration or the like — add the event to our list.

For long-term planning, view our full calendar here.

And in case you haven't heard, CMSWire will hold its second annual DX Summit Nov. 14 to 16 in Chicago. The event will bring together the world’s foremost digital experience (DX) and marketing technology (MarTech) leaders — the men and women who are defining the next generation of digital customer experiences.

The conference agenda includes interactive and educational sessions to help you navigate an increasingly complex digital customer experience landscape. But here's some extra special news: in celebration of National Bad Poetry Day on Aug. 18, we invite you to enter your own interesting verse in our DX poetry contest. Send your ‪#‎digitalcustomerexperience‬ poem to [email protected] or tweet it with the tag ‪#‎badDXpoem‬ for a chance to win a free ‪#‎DXS16‬ pass.

Wait. You're not a poet? Of course you are. Here's an acrostic poem to get you started:

• D is for Delightful, bringing joy to all
• X is for Xtraordinary, you're going to have a ball
• S is for Spectacular, truly remarkable
• U is for Unique, you'll learn the impossible
• M is for Memorable, three days you'll never forget
• M is for Mavericks, great people with curious intellect
• I  is for Intelligent, quickness of mind
• T is for Tasteful — a sublime, perfect time

And on that note ... Let's move on.
