Come for the swag, Stay for ideas

February 27, 2008 - 2:07pm

Friends, conference season is upon us. The month of March holds great promise for the schmoozers among us, as well as those just looking to learn. In the next two weeks alone, you'll find Dittos at WeMedia in Miami, DrupalCon in Boston, IPDI's Politics Online in DC, and of course, South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin (more on that soon).

But as we tracked all of these great opportunities, we realized others might want to know about some of the same events. So we created a calendar that you can consult at http://www.echoditto.com/conferences.

Just like us, these conferences cover the myriad intersections of social change, politics, technology, and new media. And it's likely that we left out some good ones, so if you'd like to suggest something for the calendar, just email conferences@echoditto.com with the name, date, and a link to the event's website.

It's powered by the ever-extensible online calendar 30 Boxes, which I've had a crush on for a couple of years now. You can also subscribe to this calendar via RSS, iCal, or CSV. Or, add it to iGoogle or Yahoo!.

Let the card-swapping begin!

(for local events, we highly recommend DC Tech Events)
