Digital Analytics Team Organizational Design Exercise (CMLF - Invitation Only)
Moderator: Rusty Rahmer, DAA Board Chair and Head of Customer Experience Solutions, GlaxoSmithKline

We will cover a host of new responsibilities and related roles as well (i.e. Tag Management, Testing and Experimentation, Audience Management, Automation, etc.). The primary goal is for participants to gain an understanding of how our different companies are structured around analytics and the pros-cons of each model.

Transforming Analytics for Single Page Apps (SPA)Julia Zhou
Speaker: Julia Zhou, Digital Analytics Implementation Analyst, Best Buy Canada

With the rise of react and single page applications in web development, cookie-cutter implementation and pixels are quickly becoming outdated as a framework for tracking. Core metrics and dimensions analysts have always depended on — such as pageviews, entries, and channels — may no longer mean what they used to mean. Julia will speak about some of the key learnings from her work at Best Buy on analytics implementation for multiple SPAs, the common challenges, and how to resolve them.

Women in Analytics Conversation
Moderator: Amy Sample, VP Business Intelligence at PBS

Since the DAA's WiA initiative launched in 2016, the Women in Analytics movement has marched on - with conferences and networking groups popping up in organizations across the industry. The DAA's own WiA mentoring program is now in its second year.

Let's continue our conversation. What success stories do you have to share with the group? What techniques have you applied in your organization to attract and retain more women analysts? How do we address the differences in equity perceptions among men and women? How do we achieve a better gender balance in senior leadership positions? Where do we need to focus our energies for the next year?

We welcome both women and men for what continues to be an exciting discussion about our profession.

1:20 PM - 2:00 PM Digital Marketing and Measurement in a Post-GDPR/ITP World

Speaker:Kevin Hartman, Director of Analytics, Consumer, Government and Entertainment Sector, Google 

While marketers' needs have changed very little as a result of digital's explosive growth, the tactics used to achieve their goals have evolved at a speed that has out-paced the trust of the very consumers they hope to engage and influence. The regulatory and industry response to protect consumers' interests has been a responsible first step with a modest impact on marketers -- but strategic moves by players in the digital industry have had a tremendously disruptive effect on marketers. We'll take a critical look at the forces that are shaping digital marketing today and layout a clear path forward for marketers in the post GDPR / ITP world.

2:00 PM - 2:45 PM

How to Present Test Results that Inspire Action Speaker:Valerie Kroll, Optimization Director, Search Discovery

As a Conversion Rate Optimizer, you are certainly familiar with everything it takes to get a test out the door. From setting up your tools and tags, to gaining stakeholder buy-in, and most importantly, determining how to act on test outcomes, you expertly balance art and science to make sure your testing program is successful. But how do you cram the life story of each test into a presentation to your product team—or even more challenging—to senior management? In this talk you’ll learn a different approach: the formula for tailoring a results-focused presentation to effectively communicate your message and inspire action from your audience. We’ll discuss culture-shifting techniques to enable your organization to embrace calculated risk, realize the importance of hypothesis driven experimentation, and demonstrate how testing brings you closer to your users.
