There is a company local to us, tmwi that puts on some superb digital marketing events with some great speakers.
I went to their latest event at the Birmingham NEC last Friday and speakers included Dave Oldacre, the SEO Manager for Sky Bet talking about SEO across an organisation. Gareth Phillips from Audience Store talking about programmatic and automated advertising, Kirsty Hulse from Linkdex with a great presentation about content and customer experience, also from Linkdex, a fascinating presentation by Jono Alderson talking about the value of frameworks within your business. To be honest I'm definitely going to rip off part of his presentation for one I'm doing myself later this month 
Deepcrawl also gave a talk again this year, this time it was David Brown talking about crawl optimisation and focusing on technical SEO which I love, but unfortunately most people glaze over...
Presentations from tmwi CEO Chris Phillips and Digital Director Gary Taylor were also very good.
It would be nice to see some older people there as I seem to be in a room of hair, guess which one is me 
If you are based around the Midlands, or fancy a day out to the centre of the country, then I'd recommend registering for the next event. It's free, a good day out, great networking opportunity, and a good chance to talk to some marketeers that really know their stuff.
The event co-ordinator is exMLS and now tmwi SEO guru Kev Wiles.
If you want to go to the next event, or hear when it is, then visit the TMWI page, or get in touch with Kev.
I will say, for a digital agency, their choice of fonts and colours are questionable, it's not the easiest page to read 
Even the experts can't get it right all the time
