Geek Dinner Montreal – April 15th With Special Guest Avinash Kaushik

Geek Dinner Montreal is happening on Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 with a very special guest. Avinash Kaushik is the author of Web Analytics – An Hour A Day and Blogger over at Occam’s Razor. He has one of the coolest job titles ever (Analytics Evangelist, Google) and is widely regarded as one of the top minds in online marketing and measurable results.

Avinash has been a guest on Six Pixels of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast on multiple occasions (and the feedback is always stellar). He also recently co-launched an amazing new initiative with our friends over at iPerceptions, called 4Q – a free and simple application for Websites to better understand why consumers are doing (or not doing) certain things on your site (full disclosure: iPerceptions is a client of Twist Image and both Avinash and myself sit on their Advisory Board).

Avinash will be in Montreal to give the closing keynote for the InfoPresse full-day event on Web Analytics (taking place on April 16th, 2008), and kindly agreed to take part in a small Geek Dinner Montreal the night before.

Here are the ground-rules: In order to confirm a seat at Geek Dinner Montreal with Avinash Kaushik, you will need to email me, and I’ll respond back with your confirmation, time and location. We are trying to keep this Geek Dinner small and intimate (about 15 people max). If you are interested in attending, please keep in mind that you are responsible for paying your own way (food and drink). As always, cameras, recorders, etc… are always welcome. I will definitely have the M-Audio MicroTrack on hand for some audio action.

I hope you’ll join Avinash and me at Geek Dinner Montreal.
