Looking forward to the International Search Summit
Category:speaking
This Thursday I will be speaking at the International Search Summit in London. This event, which is organized by Webcertain, will take place in the British Library in London. And for an historian that is off course a very nice place to be speaking at! I am very much looking forward to this event, for several reasons:
The event itself
First of all off course the event itself. A look at the agenda and speakers list shows that there will be quite a few interesting speakers I will want to be listening to. Bill Hunt is there, who will also be keynoting at SES Berlin the week after, I always enjoy listening to Will Critchlow and it will be very interesting to hear Motoko Hunt speak about Search in Japan. Check out the entire line up here.
The people I will be seeing again
Every event is special because you get to see friends again who you don’t see that often in real life. So its always good to have some drinks and dinner with people from all over the world. This time will be no different. I also added an extra day to my trip to be able to see some people who will not be attending the event, so looking forward to that too!
The topic I will be talking about
I will be talking about "Search in Holland". I had to think a while to get the right idea of how I would be stepping into this topic. If I would be looking at just the numbers that would take only a minute: Google is dominant. So I decided to take a different angle and I will be looking at how you should do search in Holland, keeping in mind what the Dutch are like. That way I hope to learn the audience something they can actually use.
Would there be anything I should address? Let me know, I’m sure I can get something in there and answer your question :). The presentation will be on slideshare also!
