We love the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose, which happens next week from August 20th to 23rd. It's a cutting edge conference about all things online and it's right in our backyard. Lots of Googlers will be in attendance, from engineers to product managers to client services, representing a wide variety of products including search, AdWords, AdSense, Webmaster Tools, Feedburner, and of course, Google Analytics and Website Optimizer. Many of us will be on panels or presenting, but we're most looking forward to the idea exchange and conversations that take place during the week. To learn more, visit the SES website and browse the daily agendas on the left. Google Analytics' Brett Crosby will speak on Thursday at 10:45am as part of a web analytics panel, and Tom Leung from Website Optimizer will speak on Tuesday at 4:45pm as part of a panel discussing landing page testing and tuning. The Google Analytics team will also be present at the Google booth (#403 in the expo hall on Tuesday and Wednesday), so stop by and say hi, ask us questions, or see a demo. And don't forget to register for and attend the Google Dance which is literally in our own backyard on Tuesday evening after SES at Google. Google Analytics will have a demo station there, so feel free to come by in between (or during) dancing, eating, and schmoozing. Hope to see you next week! Posted by Jeff Gillis, Google Analytics Team
