Boston’s FutureM Event0

Posted on July 15th, 2010 in Emerging Technologies, Events

July 15, 2010. There are very few things that make me look forward to the fall. However, MITX is working hard on changing that. How? The FutureM event.

As described by MITX:

“The inspiration for FutureM came from another important “M”: Massachusetts. Massachusetts is home to some of the world’s top marketing thinkers; our technologists are building leading platforms in video, mobile and social media; we’re rich in analytic experts; leaders in user experience; and pioneers in online communities. Add to that an intelligent workforce and a rich pipeline of upcoming leaders in our schools. There’s no better place for FutureM to begin.”

That exactly sums up why Boston is a great place to be for marketing and technology. We got the research houses (Forrester, Yankee, AMR, Aberdeen, ICD, etc), the schools, and an active venture network. When combined, Boston is the place to kick-start companies that create value across the marketing landscape.

With FutureM being a first year event, I expect we will all have some fun, stumble upon some good parties, and collectively realize that Boston, as an marketing innovation center, is unique.

The events, which will be mostly free and take place across the city, will include:

2010 HubSpot User Group

CHANGE: Marketing Daily’s Digital Transformation Summit

Inbound Marketing Summit (by New Marketing Labs)

MIT’s Technology Review: A Glimpse into the Future of Media

The schedule is still filling out and there are plenty in the works. Also, if you are interested in hosting an event that discusses or presents forward looking content, check out the submission form.

This is certainly another exciting summer in Boston and thanks to MITX, and those involved, we should have an exciting fall too.
