Mark is known as Mr LinkedIn, and has been a LinkedIn trainer since the early days of the platform. He runs the best-known podcast about LinkedIn – look out for the new title, being announced during the conference! We think of him as the Swiss Army knife of LinkedIn, and he probably knows more about the different aspects of the platform than anyone else in the world.

Mark will be speaking about “ethical stalking”, which will show us how to do the right sort of research on LinkedIn so that we can have greater intelligence about our network.
