Leading associations and industry publications

[Anonymous]

Hi community,

I'm looking to learn more about marketing automation leading industry associations, publications and influencers. Outside of Marketo, what additional resources do you leverage to grow your skillsets?  

Thanks!

I leverage Marketo, HubSpot's blog, Pedowitz, SEOMoz, and many of the demand gen agencies' blogs to increase skills and keep up with innovative ideas.

The LinkedIn Groups are a good idea. I wrote a post about this if you check out

My US management is also a big fan of Sirius decisions and this is indeed a good source of info, especially to know the industry standards (even if in real-life it's often quite different!).

There is a wealth of information out there that I wasn't aware of. I've heard of some of the resources listed but not all of them. This will definitely keep me busy for a while.

I appreciate all the answers so keep them coming!
