Our BIA/Kelsey events are intense things to develop and produce. We love to do them. The next one is ILM West, which is Dec. 4-6 in Los Angeles.

The programming for these don’t come out of thin air, of course. To keep them fresh, and on top of the latest industry trends, our analysts build relationships via their research; and also attend other events — especially vertical and regional shows.

One of the best regional shows coming up is Seattle Interactive, which is Oct. 29-30 at The Seattle Convention Center downtown . There is a lot going on in the Northwest.

This year, we’ll look forward to learning more about NW trendsetters such as Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, Razorfish, Marchex and Avvo. If you are planning to go, let’s hook up.
