Introduction
Duncan Morris
CEO Distilled

Personalisation, Profiles and Privacy
Ciarán Since 2009, Google has personalised all search results, with social signals playing an increasingly important
Norris role. Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), plugged into audience science tools, mean that display ads can now
be targeted at individual impressions, based on a predicted user profile. Since earlier this year, the use of
cookies has been regulated by the EU. How are these three things connected? What do they mean for
marketers? And is any of this a good thing? Ciarán is going to help us understand it all.
10:25 - 11:10

2.25 - 3.10
What does a CRO expert bookmark?
Stephen After an off-the-cuff comment at #mozcon in July, we have persuaded Stephen to break open his personal
Pavlovich
Evernote account. This is where he stores everything that inspires him on- and off-line. If a salesperson’s
greatest asset is their rolodex, a CRO expert’s might just be their swipe file. This session is the only way
to see the secrets.

Head to Head - Live Site Reviews
Will You might have seen the nail-biting finish to the head-to-head “presentation-off” in Seattle where Rand
Critchlow snuck in ahead after a recount of the audience vote. Will and Rand have competed head to head to give
Rand
Fishkin the best presentation at all of our events and this year we are trying something new.
At lunchtime on the second day, they will each be given some websites and a few hours to prepare their
decks from scratch ready for a live site review at the end of the conference. Hold onto your seats - this
is going to be frantic as they take all the stress of preparing a head to head presentation and compress it
into a few hours.
