Tech Events for 2010 no comments

As you start looking at your calendar for the next year, there may be some events you want to take time off for (or at least send someone to). Technology conferences, electronics seminars and week-long shows provide information that you can use in your everyday work and help you plan for the future.
Here are some events I'm particularly looking forward to:
CES (Consumer Electronics Show): Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Jan. 7th-10th. CES is run by the Consumer Electronics Association to show cutting edge international products for businesses and consumers. It has been running since the sixties.
TechCrunch Europe (Mobile 2010): Barcelona. Feb. 17th. This is the event if you want to know more about mobile start-ups. Put on by TechCrunch Europe.
Mini Seedcamp: London, England. July 20th. This event is for the best tech companies (mobile, software or web), and helping them connect to leading investors. www.seedcamp.com This is a one-day event, but many events like it will be happening all over Europe.
Social Media World Forum: London, England. March 15th-16th. The Social Media World Forum is all about the social presence of companies. Many sessions are free to attend so its worth checkin' out.
SXSWi/Digital Mission: Austin, TX, United States. March 11th-17th Digital Mission is about taking European based companies to the highly famous South by South West Interactive event held in Austin, TX every year. 30 companies are picked to attend, though if you go outside of the digital mission you can still connect with the group in Austin. SxSW brings emerging technologies and digital leaders together in one of the biggest tech conferences in the world.
Is your company planning on attending any particular events in 2010? Which ones are you most excited about?
