Whether its the Mobile Internet, Facebook, or Twitter, these technologies are shaping the business agenda and we need strategies for monitoring change and identifying the measurements for our business success.

As The Guardian’s Technology Editor, Charles identifies the agenda-setting stories that are just over the horizon. Join us for this enjoyable and useful session, and be sure you’ll come away with ideas and inspiration you can apply to your business.

Using Google Analytics to improve your business results

Dr Dave Chaffey: Marketing Insights Limited

More than 70% of businesses are using Google Analytics to measure their web performance, but few are using its full range of features to improve their business performance. Analytics enables you to review the quality of your visitor sources, improve your customer journey through your website, and measure the conversions the site brings to your business.

In this session you will learn practical techniques for configuring your tracking, customise your reports, and interpret your results so that you can implement those “quick win” improvements essential for online marketing success

11:15 – 12:30

Essentials of Social Media Marketing

The explosive growth of Social Media means YouTube and Twitter are insinuating their way into all our customers’ lives.

In this session, you'll hear from marketing experts who'll help you cut through the hyperbole and create some long lasting, meaningful consumer connections by using practical social media marketing tactics and strategies.

Essentials of Copywriting

Mark Shaw: We Are Nutshell

Your website is a form of direct marketing, reaching directly into your customer’s world to inform, guide and sell. Your copy is the Tour Guide for your site, helping visitors to navigate and discover your content, anticipating their needs, and guiding them to the places you want them to visit.

15:15 – 16:30
