I am so glad to announce that I was nominated for a second time as a candidate to Board of Directors of theWeb Analytics Association. This is not a minor issue for me since I have been working very hard in the industry for a long time, mainly in Latin America and from such a position I would be able to work on strategies aimed at developing activities in the region.
I must also say that it is an honor for me having the chance of share this nomination with incredible professionals like Anil Batra (Chief Analytics Officer, Ascentium), Daniel Waisberg (Head of Web Analytics, Easynet Search Marketing), David Millrod (Managing Partner, Technology Leaders) Khalid Saleh (Co-Founder & President, INVESP Consulting), Olivier Silvestre (Co-Founder, Tealium, Inc), Rene Dechamps Otamendi (Co-Founder, OX2/LBi, Rene is a great professional and such a nice guy), Sergio Maldonado ( Director, Consulting MV) and Stéphane Hamel (Web Analytics Advocate, Immeria Consulting Services).
Finally, I want to thanks Lindsay De Santis for the incredible dedication on the organization, Richard Foley for all the work hi did for making my interview possible, to the tireless Jim Sterne and to all those that worked so hard to make all this possible.
The voting period will be open in a few days, so if you are focused in Latin America … VOTE FOR PEDRO … sorry … Vote for Juan 
. All nomination here and my nomination here.
Today I was looking at the blogs are linking to Analytics 2.0 and found a post at the blog elwebmaster.com called “ahora los bloggers se desnudan” which means now the bloggers get naked. My first thought was, what does this post has to do with mine, so my first reaction was using apple + search and type [analytics 2.0] and nothing happened. So I read the entire post which talks about the 10 frech bloggers that got naked and at the end it says “Here in Buenos Aires, the blogger chicks propose a photo session but this time we get guys naked ¿Could you imagine a photo session with our blogstars? Juan Pablo Sueiro, Fabio Baccaglioni, Santiago Sarceda y Juan Manuel Damia. Guys you are invited to demonstrate that you are not just smart and succesful, but also hansome.”
I’m not sure that could be a nice spectacle…we better keep blogging, what do you say Fabio, Santiago and Juano?
Today HOWA (Hands on Web Analytics) presented the Event Agenda with case studies from Google, Telefónica, Intellignos, Despegar.com (presented by Resultics), ePEXO, Netadblog, SocialMetrix (and some others to be confirmed). 
Don’t lose the chance of being part of the first Web Analytics Event in Latam, where you will be hable to interact with the people who works “Hands on Web Analytics”.
The SMX Event is landing in Buenos Aires in its second edition. SMX is one of the most important “Search” events in the world, so if you work in something related, not just with “Search” but with Internet, you must attend it.This event is gonna be a very particular one, since it includes a the Web Analytics panel (yes, I said in Buenos Aires and Analytics in the same phrase 
) and I have the honor of being one of the three Web Analytics Panelists. The other two are Enrique Quevedo (from Google Analytics) and María Soledad Santich (Content and SVAs Internet- Marketing Speedy from Telefonica de Argentina).
We are launching a new blog design, which is cleaner, with better functionality and a boarder space for charts (something importante in this blog). Please I would love receiving your thoughts and comments.

I would also like to point out that all the candidates proposals are really interesting and cover a particular Web Analytics Association need, so is not going to be about voting the best professional (something really hard to define) but the ones with proposals that covers the main WAA needs.
Regarding my proposal, it is focused on spreading the WAA through all Latin America based on the following objetives:
* Give support to the people who are beginning with this activity and require knowledge and support.
* Generate the perfect environment to professionals who need to exchange ideas that will help improve practices and tools.
