5-6 April San Francisco
The iStrategy Conference was created by a team of passionate online media folks in Bristol, UK in 2009. After years of experimenting in the constantly evolving digital space, they decided to convene like-minded people in an effort to share knowledge and experiences and to inspire continued exploration of digital media channels. Since the initial conference in Berlin, iStrategy has expanded into four bi-annual, regional events in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
Any description of the iStrategy Conference would be incomplete without mention of Adam Burns, iStrategy's witty and engaging emcee. He is currently Senior Editor for iStrategy's sister site, www.MeetTheBoss.tv where his interviews of global business leaders have received much acclaim.
iStrategy's mission is to spread passion for existing and emerging digital media throughout the world. The goal for each event is to create an original experiential learning opportunity for participants that will have lasting impact on their digital strategies - at least until the next season's gathering!
