ACCELERATE 2019
Back in 2015, the Analytics Demystified team decided to put on a different type of analytics conference we called ACCELERATE. The idea was that we as partners and a few select other industry folks would share as much information as we could in the shortest amount of time possible. We chose a 10 tips in 20 minutes format to force us and our other presenters to only share the “greatest hits” instead of the typical (often boring) 50 minute presentation with only a few minutes worth of good information. The reception of these events (held in San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Columbus) was amazing. Other than some folks feeling a bit overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information, people loved the concept. We also coupled this one day event with some detailed training classes that attendees could optionally attend. The best part was that our ACCELERATE conference was dramatically less expensive than other industry conferences.
I am pleased to say that, after a long hiatus, we are bringing back ACCELERATE in January of 2019 in the Bay Area! As someone who attends a LOT of conferences, I still find that there is a bit of a void that we once again hope to fill with an updated version of ACCELERATE. In this iteration, we are going to do some different things in the agenda in addition to our normal 10 tips format. We hope to have a few roundtable discussions where attendees can network and have some face-to-face discussions like what is available at the popular DA Hub conference. We are also bringing in product folks Ben Gaines (Adobe) and Krista Seiden (Google) to talk about the two most popular digital analytics tools. I will even be doing an epic bake-off comparison of Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics with my partner Kevin Willeitner! We may also have some other surprises coming as the event gets closer…
You will be hard-pressed to find a conference at this price that provides as much value in the analytics space. But seats are limited and our past ACCELERATE events all sold out, so I suggest you check out the information now and sign-up before spaces are gone. This is a great way to start your year with a motivating event, at a great location, with great weather and great industry peers! I hope to see you there…
