Workshop with Henk van Ess: So you think you can Google

OPEN TO ALL, DISCOUNT FOR MEMBERS OF NCE MEDIA/MEDIA CITY BERGEN

Limited number of tickets available.

On Google, you can find a lot of answers quickly, but it's more difficult to find a short list that includes only what is relevant to your work. Henk van Ess gives you great tips on playing the web like a violin in this masterclass.

Learn how to time travel with Google, find documents from the right period, check if a source is reliable, find current figures quickly, get rid of junk, and discover new commands in a fun way. You will devise a strategy to never think of your question again, but of your answer, as you learn. The knowledge will be immediately applicable!

The ticket is including readers and 30 days free access to Pipl for all (worth $150 dollar for each person) and 10 days access to Maltego and Social Links (worth $200 for each person).

They also get a summary for each workshop and access to a newsletter.
