13. What our Speakers will Talk About
Our speakers will talk about their close and personal relationship with the Freemium business model and share their
experience of what works and doesnât work.
Don MacLennan, Senior Vice President of product management at AVG Technologies, a leader in PC-based virus

revenue leading them to an IPO earlier this year. For a sneak peek check out this interview: Freemium, Conversion
Rates and More: AVG CEO J.R. Smith.

the API-driven cloud monitoring space. David will talk about the freemium pricing decision for business services like
Cloudkick, and the role of Sales in freemium pricing models. David, now co-founder & CEO of CloudAmp, a sales
analytics company for SaaS/Web apps, will also talk about optimizing conversion rates for freemium B2B services.
