Analytics - The Importance of Measuring Success
This session is focused on measuring success with analytics and will include some insights into Google Analytics 4.
DATE AND TIME:
Thu 19 May 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM
Millions of businesses, large and small, rely on Google Analytics to understand customer preferences and create better experiences for them.
The focus of the presentation is how critical it is to set up tracking on your business website, so that you are able to measure conversions. Every business website is different, so a conversion is different as well. If you sell online, you want to know about making sales but for all businesses a conversion can also be submitting a contact form or downloading a PDF.
Learn about how to put a dollar value against every website visit and use it to optimise marketing campaigns through all your digital channels.

BOP Women in Tech
Informal panel discussion with some awesome women of varying stages and ages sharing their experiences.
DATE AND TIME:
Fri 20 May 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
There are so many opportunities in the tech sector for women and it offers a lot more flexibility than some other career paths, yet women make up less than 25% of the tech industry in NZ.
Increasing representation of women in tech is important not only for the brilliant career opportunities it can offer to them, but also for the ability of the technology industry as a whole to innovate and rise to meet the needs of society.
This event is suitable for those who not only want to get inspired and learn more about the vast range of career opportunities in the tech sector but also connect with like-minded people. Whilst the focus will be on "women" the event is open to everyone.
