2013: What a Year I’ve had!

Category:Events,Personal,speaking Tags : 

The year is almost over, about time for a little recap. Yes, I know, there are many out there, but this one is different. Why? Because it’s about my year :). On my final trip of the year, back from Istanbul, Turkey, to Amsterdam, I had some time to reflect a little on what has been one of the most amazing years in my life. This year I have seen a lot of this world, more than ever before, met a lot of great people, was inspired a lot, saw some great businesses and learned a lot myself as well. Time to get you up to speed on what I’ve done this year.

An Example of My SlideDecks

Category:speaking Tags : 

I do a lot of talks around the world about Online Marketing related topics. The focus lies very much on consumer behaviour these days. A few years ago I uploaded all my presentations to Slideshare. I don’t do that anymore, because my talks are very much story telling and I am using a lot of images it doesn’t make sense to upload each presentation.

However people who haven’t seen me speak are still interested in what they can expect, so I created a slide deck with some examples of what I talk about and added some explanation to it.

This deck however gives you some insights into how I build up my decks and stories and what you can expect.

Off course the best way of getting an idea is still to actually see one of my presentations. 🙂 But this is a start ;-).

A4U and the Dublin Web Summit: a Sneak Peek at me Speaking

Category:speaking Tags : 

Last 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.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements

Category:speaking Tags : 

At 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!

One week of Speaking: an Award at ISS and a Nomination for State of Search

Category:speaking

Well, that was quite the week last week. I wrote about the different events I was going to be speaking at in London and Manchester. It was indeed a very busy week, but also a very nice week. It went by really fast, which usually is an indication of things going well.

While in both London and Manchester I got two nice messages: I won the speakers medallion at the International Search Summit and State of Search got nominated for best European Search blog!
