Training Social Search at the International SEO School
Category:TrainingAs you know I am originally a trained history teacher. That means that in many of my talks you will find references to historical events. Since my parents were both teachers, it also means that it is ‘in my genes’ to be a teacher. It therefore makes sense that I do training sessions.
Since quite a few years now I have been giving training sessions in different areas of online marketing. I have trained about search, about social and about online marketing in general. All for different training agencies. Most of them in the Netherlands, some outside.
One which is ‘new’ however is international and will be given in no other place than the beautiful city of Barcelona. There I will, several times a year, be training people in the subject of social search, with an international sauce to it on the International SEO School.

A4U and the Dublin Web Summit: a Sneak Peek at me Speaking
Category:speakingLast week was one of those weeks which had a full agenda and lots of traveling in it. These weeks are tiring as no other weeks but also very satisfying.
The week had two conferences in it, A4U Expo and the Dublin Web Summit. Next to that it was a week of meeting friends and colleagues and getting things started.
At A4U Expo I spoke about mobile in combination with social and local together with Sri Sharma, on Thursday I had traveled to the Dublin Web Summit, one of the, if not the, biggest conferences in online marketing in Europe to speak about how social and authority collide. There it was also nice to see old friends which I hadn’t seen in a while who now have an interesting app they are running called Foodzy, go check it out.
Speaking at A4U as always was lots of fun, in Dublin I had never been before so that was an interesting one, especially because that was a conference which had no less than 4,000 attendees there. My talk there was actually ‘secretly’ taped.

Life is just starting, so they say
Category:PersonalSo as of yesterday I belong to the ‘old’ people, at least that is what some (young) people are trying to make me believe. Even my youngest daughter sang and laughed “lalala 40! papa!”, though I’m sure she didn’t mean to mock me ;).
Anyway, as you may have noticed I turned 40 yesterday. And as you may know at birthdays people congratulate you. I can honestly say, because of Social, I have never had this many people congratulating me for my birthday. There were so many I couldn’t reply to each one of them. So thank you all for that!
Now, some may say I’m old, but others say life is just starting when you turn 40. So for me this is apparently a beginning of new life! And in a way that makes sense. I am working on a lot of plans at the moment, aiming to get them going as quickly as possible. And to underline that I wrote a post yesterday on State of Search where I describe how I got where I am now and what lies ahead, both for me as the industry as a whole.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements
Category:speakingAt the moment I am in Leeds, UK, where tomorrow I will be speaking at the conference “Thinkvisibility”. A conference which is close to my heart because it is organised by Dom Hodgson, a very nice and smart guy and because it is one of those conferences where it’s about great quality content, but also about good fun!
Recently I was asked if I had an overview of where I was speaking so people could come and see me speak. I realised I hadn’t. So I decided to make a nice calendar of when and where I am speaking, whether it is at a conference, an internal event or if it’s a training session.
You can find the overview of the upcoming talks here.
I will try and keep this updated as much as I can! For now there are a few beauties on the list already. Next to Thinkvisibility there is for example A4U Expo and the Dublin Web Summit. And there are some training sessions and an internal event in Kopenhagen and Stockholm coming up as well. Yes, I do have a lot to say ;-).
So go check it out and see if you can come and see me speak. And if you are around Leeds this weekend, do come and pop over to Thinkvis!
