Google Analytics Master Class (GAMC) in Malaysia 2010

We barely got a breather from the Google Analytics Master Class in Singapore last Tuesday and we found ourselves on an early flight to Kuala Lumpur in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia.
Since we’ve never done business in KL (yet!), we didn’t know what to expect at this conference. Last year, the GAMC was only held on Singapore and about 200 people showed up, many of those flew done from Malaysia to attend the event. This year Google decided to hold the event ‘closer to home’ for Malaysian Google enthusiasts.
And what a good move by Google that was! The event was over-subscribed according to organizer. There was difficulty fitting the 500 attendees into the Hilton Kuala Lumpur conference room. There registration line seemed to never end. The response was just amazing!
Like the Singapore event, there was a twitter (#GAMC) feed set up for people share their thoughts during the event. There were a lot of positive tweets about the event, and a more than a few special mentions to Googler Stephanie Hsu, who seems to have a growing fan club in Malaysia.
We had a great time in at the KL event. People warmed up to Rachit’s speech about Price Testing using Google Website Optimizer. And to close off the event, there was a panel discussion with Beth Liebert, Product Manager of Google Analytics, the 3 Singapore Google Analytics Authorized Consultants: Justin Lim from Pointstar, Adrian Tan from ClickTRUE, and Rachit Dayal from Happy Marketer. It seemed that price was a very important issue to Malaysians as many questions were directed to Rachit’s presentation. I’m glad he was asked so many questions, more chances to show everyone that Rachit really knows his Analytics and that he can explain things very clearly. I think in Q&A’s and in consultative sessions about Google Analytics, that’s where he really shines. Awesome job Rachit!
[Update] Here the video of the presentation.
After the event we had time to relax. We went for Indian food with the Googlers and then to Skybar at the Traders hotel. Pretty nice place they got up there.
The next day Rach and I relaxed and went shopping at KLCC and the surrounding malls.
After a relaxing Thai massage we were tired and ready to go home.
It was a definitely a great adventure in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks everyone for the great time at the Google Analytics Master Class!
