Thanks for coming to the boat party

A big thank you to everyone who came to our boat party in September and made it an awesome event. Much wine was quaffed and many analytics insights discovered. All in all we had a great time and thought it a great success.

We’ve included two presentations from the boat party by Rob Jackson (Elisa DBI) and Gavin Bonthron (Ancestry.co.uk) as downloadable PDFs as an added goody bag.

As usual we’ll be mixing free beer with great speakers and a healthy dose of Conversion based fun. Our friends at Adobe will be picking up the beer tab and the topic will be around behavioural targeting and predictive analytics.
