My answer to What are the top tech conferences for social, mobile and location based marketing? on Quora

Our service, Lanyrd, is a crowdsourced directory of conferences with very strong listings in those categories. Try the following pages:

• Social Media conferences—68 upcoming social media conferences
• Mobile conferences—101 upcoming mobile conferences
  
• Marketing events and conferences—54 upcoming marketing conferences
  
• Geo conferences and events | Lanyrd—13 upcoming geo conferences (these are of a more technical nature, we have loads of location marketing conferences but they aren’t consistently tagged with the same topic at the moment)

If you sign in with Twitter we’ll look at who you follow and suggest events that those people are attending or speaking at, which usually results in some very useful recommendations. You can subscribe to a weekly email listing new conferences you might be interested in as well.
