Vaimo Denmark hosted Meet Magento Denmark on February 2nd, 2017 for the second consecutive year. The event was designed with the goal of bringing together the Magento community and infusing attendees with fresh knowledge about Magento and eCommerce as a whole. The event drew about 150 Magento-minded attendees who helped to create a unique atmosphere.
The event featured a business and a technical track for the two different types of attendees.
The business track included talks from:
Karsten Nygaard, Head of Digital Counseling at Webjuice, opened with a in-depth talk about SEO, with a focus on easy take-aways with great impact that anyone can implement.
Emil Kristensen, CMO & Co-founder at Sleeknote shared his thoughts on newsletter subscription conversion, with examples of do's and dont's, and encouraged the usage of the AB split test.
Jesper Sørensen, CIO at Klean, talked about different ways of configuring products with the help of two illustrative case studies.
Kenneth Boll, CEO at Raptor Services, gave a great presentation on product recommendations and how to keep it relevant for the user, based on Raptor's services.
