Last Wednesday night (16th July 2008) saw me and SCL Analytics host our 9th successive bi-monthly London Web Analytics Wednesday event.
Web Analytics Wednesdays (WAW) are a free to attend networking event, that are held globally, traditionally on a Wednesday Night.
Background on the London WAW events
We began them back in march 2007 and have been running them bi-monthly ever since. They have gone from strength to strength and at last count, we have had over 400 web analytics professionals attend a London WAW event at some point, with many returning time and time again.
Testimony to the event’s success is the fact that we have had regular attendees from places as far flung as Sheffield, Edinburgh, Europe and even the USA, with Web Analytics Wednesdays very own Eric T. Peterson kindly agreeing to be our guest presenter at our March 2008 WAW event, presenting on ‘the future of Web Analytics’. Eric helped us pull in our biggest crowd to date, with over 200 people registering to attend and approximately 110 people turning up on the night!
The July 16th 2008 London WAW
Wednesday night’s July WAW was another successful event, which saw around 70 people turning up on the night. Thank you to Amanda Kahlow from Web Analytic Consulting LLC for her insightful presentation on ‘Effecting Positive Business Change Through Web Analytics, Case Studies from Enterprise Frontlines’.
They say pictures speak a thousand words… Unfortunately I am not the best photographer, however I did take a few photos from the night, which I have included below: -
What’s next (October 15th 2008 WAW)
Eric T. Peterson has kindly agreed to come back again and present at our October 2008 London WAW event, being held on October 15th at the Cumberland Hotel near Marble Arch (thanks to Coremetrics for providing us with a venue). Mark Simpson from Maxymiser has also been confirmed as a guest presenter at the October WAW.
Finally, I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped make London Web Analytics Wednesdays such a success and hopefully I will see you at the next one!
