Web Analytics Day Brussels 2007

I recently attended (in a stressed tour around Europe) a great event arranged by Rene, Aurelie and the rest of the tremendously smart team at OX2: Web Analytics Day Brussels 2007.

The traditional Rat Pack of Web Analytics vendors participated together with somewhat local Nedstat:

• Webtrends
• IndexTools
• Omniture (OMTR)
• Nedstat

Great! because the day was packed with really first-class presentations (this including Eric Peterson)... and I especially enjoyed the presentation by David Rhee about social networks and online communities. Super exciting stuff!!

Here is a quick 2 min MTV style recap of the day:





Which shows the good looking presenters:

• Aurélie Pols
• Eric T. Peterson
• Dennis R. Mortensen (Yes I actually own a pair of glasses)
• Stephan Loerke
• David Rhee
• Neil Morgan
• Ian Thomas
• Henk Schepens
• Tracie Caroopen

The only annoying fact was that I did not have the time to sit down and relax, network a bit and join in on the Cocktail Reception (sponsored by Omniture) – It is still beyond me; how I could plan my schedule so that I could not take advantage of free cocktails from Omniture.. he he :-)

Webanalytics Congres in Zeist (The Netherlands)

I attended the Webanalytics Congres in Zeist (The Netherlands) last Thursday and must say that I am absolutely stunned to see this many practitioners attending the event. The Networking was equally great, getting the chance to say hi to:

• Steven Kraal - Leads2Business
• Aurélie Pols and René Dechamps (what happened to Siegert?) - OX2
• Fulton Yancy - Visual Sciences
• Eric Peterson - WebAnalyticsDemystified
• Eelco van Kuik - Conversion Company
• Joris Verwater - Compare Group
• Neil Morgan and my new Danish friend - Omniture
• Minouk Fieggen - Kieskeurig
• Frans Appels - Netprofiler
• ...and all those I forgot :-)

And I do not even live there. GREAT event!

What happend to NedStat? - I tried to find a “representative” the whole day without luck? - Are they out of business? :-)

Wolter Tjeenk Willink from Traffic Builders – I tried to find you?, but I assume I will see you at DME.

Check out these really really good posts about the event from:

• Aurélie Pols (OX2): WebAnalytics Congres Netherlands.
• Eric Peterson (WebAnalyticsDemystified): Web analytics in Holland.

I will be attending the Digital Marketing Event in Amsterdam these days - so I guess I will see you again tomorrow.. :-)
