Google Analytics for Government

Please note this is a government event, and only open to public service employees. Registration closes Monday 26th August 12am. Laptops are required. To ensure that training runs smoothly, please confirm that your laptop has access to Google before training. A lot of information and free tutorials exist online about website analysis and Google Analytics. These are largely designed to help businesses sell things rather than using website analysis for the simple sake of providing great online government services to everyday Australians. GA360 training is targeted to digital professionals in government who analyse data as part of their role in policy, performance or business.  If you use Google Analytics to track the use of your websites and have access to your accounts, this is for you. Participants can come to one or all of the sessions below. Friday 30th August 2019 9:00am to 12:30pm – Custom Tracking in Google Tag Manager Format: Interactive workshop, laptops essential About: Google Tag Manager is the key to building custom Google Analytics tracking for websites. This hands-on interactive session walks you through setting up tracking for forms, buttons, and PDF downloads using repeatable methods that you can take away and use on your own agency websites. Who should attend: Ideally, you’ll have some experience with HTML and CSS, and an awareness of how stuff like Event Tracking appears in Google Analytics reports. You don’t need to be a current GA360 customer, but you do need some knowledge of Google Analytics concepts in order to get the most out of this session. Friday 30th August 2019 1:30pm to 4:30pm – Data Studio Workshop – Building a Dashboard Format: Play-along, laptops essential About: Google Data Studio is a free and full-featured dashboard design tool from Google.

Who should attend: This session is designed for folk who are comfortable with Google Analytics, particularly in metric and dimensions and where to find answers to questions in reports. If you want to speed up the efficiency of your reporting, or if you want your dashboards to look beautiful, then this session is for you. Data Runs Deep is all about chasing the spark.
