I was at this event (though Eric for got to mention it in the post) Web Analytics Wednesday San Francisco Metrics and KPIs which Eric Peterson posted on Web Analytics Demystfied- and had no idea the WAW drew as many people as it did or cost as much as it did.
I didn't end up staying that long - but it was fun hanging out with everyone - it was a very crowded Web Analytics Wednesday (which was actually on a Tuesday) and I thought, overall, the WAW's have been getting better in terms of both content and attendance.
I also found Emetrics Marketing Optimization summit very intense and packed with information and meeting this week - and now it's time to take a break and get ready for the next one (meeting, that is).
By the way, I've been invited to attend the Social Media Roundtable in Toronto on May 20th - and I'm going to try to attend (Pro PR’s Joe Thornley on the Toronto Social Media Scene, Measurement).
Here's a video that explains what the Roundtable is … and why it would be valuable to attend.
I've been San Francisco since last Sunday and my days are full - it's hard to post anything because I'm spending most of my time talking to other people attending Emetrics.
However, I hosted a dinner last night for the Social Media Committee that I direct at the Web Analytics Association - only a few members were present (have over 70 members); but, we had a great time - he's some footage from the dinner:
I meant to post this earlier - just incase some of my readers are in San Francisco next weekend (and attending Emetrics Summit is not actually required for all of what's listed below) - here's some information you might want to keep track of.
I'll be on the 4:30PM - 6:00PM Panel, by the way:
