Avanish Kaushik has some really good commentary about the Emetrics Summit - of the 16 sessions he attended. Actually, many that he attended were in different tracks than what I covered, and I was limited by power and not wanting to lug my laptop from room to room.
"In his keynote our host Jim Sterne encouraged all of us to 1) ask a lot of questions of the presenters and 2) identify two specific actionable insights that we can take back and implement. Given that the conference covered seven topics in four concurrent tracks for a total of fifty four sessions taking two actionable insights I think was a very conservative guidance, even if the best one could have done was attend a maximum of sixteen complete sessions.
For the readers of this blog I have picked four presentations that were “cool”, had key insights, from the sixteen that I attended. Each of these contained something that was amazing and awesome, something that we should all be doing. These stood out from just the sessions that I was able to attend."
I have not had a chance to review any of the actual presentation - I know they have been posted online. I'll try to do that over the next week or so. At the Emetrics Summit - many speakers gave more away than they do at SES or Webmasterworld - that's my take - many talked about the problems they're grappling with and how they're solving them. Read Avinash's post - you'll see what I mean.
