Now in its fifth year, the Portland Digital Marketing Conference will connect marketing professionals and students with new customers, ideas, technologies and business opportunities. With its position being "Where today's marketers connect," the conference spans two days, and features national keynote speakers, presentations by Portland business leaders, digital marketing bootcamps, and the fast-paced Ignite learning experience to showcase small to large business digital marketing success stories. Events will take place at Lincoln Hall, Portland's performance center, located on the Portland State University campus.

The 2011 conference featured keynote speakers Michael Brito, senior vice president for social business planning at Edelman Digital in the Silicon Valley, Tim Frick , author of “Return on Engagement: Content, Strategy and Design Techniques for Digital Marketing”, and Marsha Collier, author of “The Ultimate Online Customer Service Guide: How to Connect with your Customers to Sell More.”

The Conference founder and current owner, Jennifer Portis, has grown the conference from a university event to a respected Northwest business with the support of the amazing Portland digital marketing community and local NBC affiliate station. KGW.
