The Speakers
Duncan Bloor currently works for the BBC as part of their audience acquisition team and specialises in search engine optimization.

Duncan will be shedding light on how to use search engine data to gain insights into your audience and create content they will want to read.
Chris Thorpe has worked on projects as diverse as the video archives of Nobel Prize winners, putting contemporary art on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square and open data projects with the UK government. He will be talking about these fascinating projects.
Alex Hardie, 30, started his career in communications as a journalist. He spent 5 years as head of marketing at Virgin, before moving to San Francisco self publishing company, Blurb, where he helped launch the brand across Europe. As the director of How Do You Do, a digital marketing company he has a special interest in social media and how it can be used effectively.
