WAA in Spain — A Step Towards EUWAA? Let's Experiment Empowering the Local Chapters!
Last week I was invited to Barcelona to a great WA event: Practitioner Web Analytics 2008. This event gathered most of the Spanish Web Analytics professionals around a 3 days event. It was a great success based on the feed-back published already in some blogs (Javier & Gemma). For me it was a very special occasion as I’m Spaniard and this was the first opportunity I had to address live a Spanish audience in Spanish ;-)
OX2 Web Analytics Day 2007: Thank You & Feedback
Here’s a little video presenting the Web Analytics Day that took place last week here in Brussels done by Roberto, one of our Design team members.
Microsoft Gatineau — World Premiere at OX2 Web Analytics Day
One of the surprise highlights of the day was Ian Thomas from Microsoft presenting a sneak peek of Microsoft Gatineau — their upcoming free web analytics tool designed to compete with Google Analytics. This was the worldwide first public demonstration of the beta version, and the fact that it happened here in Brussels (home of the privacy-concerned European Commission) rather than in Redmond or San Francisco says something about how seriously Microsoft was taking the European analytics community.
Four Gurus For You (4G4U)
Well here is as promised a preview of the Four Gurus For You Session that took place last may in San Francisco during the Emetrics Summit. As you might know the International Committee of the Web Analytics Association organized an online event during the Emetrics Summit. This session intended to the WAA members that couldn’t attend Emetrics presented the 4 most renowned Gurus in Web Analytics answering questions from people attending the event (even virtually).
First Web Analytics Wednesday in Brussels
This week, the Web Analytics Association and OX2 just organised a Web Analytics Wednesday here in Brussels. It was the first time we had this event in the capital of Europe and it was a nice event IMHO. I wanted to thank again De Persgroep for hosting this event in their magnificent premises.
18 people showed up (I hope to increase this number for the next edition in a couple of months). As you know, the agenda included some presentations delivered by Michaël Notté, Julien Coquet and myself (I’ll publish another post with a copy of these later on. You can read the agenda here) and it was followed by a networking cocktail. The audience was mainly composed of practitioners, but we had also 1 consultant (beside us) and 2 vendors (WebTrends and ClickTracks).
