Scheduled Presentations

Session 1: Understanding Google Analytics
Tim Jensen, Digital Advertising Manager, Overit

It’s no longer enough to simply have a website. We all need to know if we’re reaching the right audience to drive our brands and revenue. How are people getting to our sites? Are enough people getting to our sites? Once there, are they getting the information we want them to receive?

Using an analytical tool can answer that question—and make the website work for us. Tim Jensen will focus on Google Analytics, the most popular free platform for tracking website activity. Whether you’re new to the tool, or want to improve your use of it, this session will help you access and analyze the date so you can maximize your website’s presence.

Session 2: Hackable Humans
Reg Harnish, CEO, GreyCastle Security

Industry analysts, security researchers and experts can all agree on one security constant: Your people are your biggest security vulnerability. That opens up businesses and individuals to attack – one that increasingly comes from social media.

So why are humans so hackable?

Reg Harnish, CEO of GreyCastle Security, will address this in an informative presentation that takes us into the heart of social media security—and privacy. He’ll discuss the latest threats and offer solutions so we can all defend ourselves against the art of human manipulation.

Session 3: Evolving New York State’s Digital Presence
Grace Cheung, NYS Director of Digital Communications and 
Citizen Engagement
Melanie Galinski, NY.Gov General Manager

In recent years, New York State’s digital presence has evolved into a dynamic, integrated set of platforms to greatly enhance media and citizen engagement.  Two of the digital leaders most closely involved with the multi-faceted transition will discuss the strategies, analysis and tools they employed.  You’ll learn how a barely interactive website transitioned to a fully responsive, engagement tool garnering 1.2 million views each month, and how NYS government is using multiple fully, engaged social media platforms for public relations and customer service.
