Ich habe geplant meine Teilnahme an der diesjährigen Attensity Engage Conference persönlich zu kommentieren und meine Begeisterung damit auch zu unterstreichen. Tamairah Boleyn war schneller und hat mir dabei einige Arbeit abgenommen.
Meine persönlichen, wichtigsten Erfahrungen aus diesen beiden, hochinteressanten Tagen:
- Social Media Monitoring kann nur mit einem starken Partner wie z.B. Attensity professionell angeboten werden.
- Die Entwicklung erfolgreicher Social Media Strategien ist ein iterativer und vorallem ein Change – Prozess in dem Monitoring eine wichtige Rolle spielt.
- Die sprachliche Differenzierung bleibt und ist ein kritisches Kriterium. (Super Vortrag über Social Language)
- Social Media Monitoring und erweiterte Textanalyse bringen den entscheidenden Wettbewerbsvorsprung.
(Hoch interessaner Vortrag von Manya Mayes, Director of Advanced Analytics and Solutions, Attensity) - Customer Case Study: Wells Fargo Bank war ein Highlight der Veranstaltung
“Excellent integration story of unstructured data into a data warehouse”
einen guten Überblick über alle Vorträge lesen Sie im untenstehenden Blog von Attensity. Mehr Informationen dazu gibt es natürlich bei meinen Workshops!

Admittedly, skinny it was not. One attendee at last week’s event told us “Thank you…Food and entertainment was among the best I’ve experienced at conferences.” Attensity’s biggest event ever was packed with information sharing, relevant insights, camaraderie…and iPad winners. Clients, friends, prospects and partners all traveled to fill up this conference at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.
Based on our real-time mobile and post event feedback surveys, by all accounts, it was a huge success, which is very rewarding for me as the conference director for a new event like this one. Clients are already planning for their return next year! But rather than tooting our own horn, I thought it would be more fun to show you. Below are a few event photos that might give you a sense of the “big” topics we covered! A big thanks goes out to our participating partners, guest speakers, clients who shared highly transparent case studies, and of course to the attendees who took time out from their busy schedules to attend.
