SPEAKERS

----------------------------

We will welcome David Towers (http://www.goodwebpractices.com/author/david-towers.html) along once more, to provide us with tips and tricks around Search Engine Optimisation for non-profits. David helpfully blogged a summary of his talk from our NetSquared last year (http://www.goodwebpractices.com/seo/seo-for-non-profits-training-presentation.html) - so will be along to help pick up and explain the concepts of onsite and offsite optimisation once more...

Also joining us will be Danny Roche (http://www.pushon.co.uk/about/team/dan-roche/) from local agency PushON. Danny is PushON’s Pay Per Click Specialist, and has written about Google Grants for non-profit organisations (http://www.pushon.co.uk/blog/latest-news/google-grants-for-non-profit-organisations/). PushON have just been nominated for a Big Chip award (http://www.bigchipawards.com/page.asp?id=2664) their work around Google Grants, so we will be in good company.

Finally, we should also be joined (remotely) by Wendy Greco from the Analysis Exchange (http://www.webanalyticsdemystified.com/ae/index.asp), an initiative that places search industry professionals with non-profit organisations. If you want to take forward some of the ideas from David and Danny, then this might be your next step.
