Our next meeting will be on Wednesday evening November 7th at 7PM

We can certainly facilitate a discussion of any one of a number of topics, questions or ideas that have been submitted. If anyone would like to volunteer to provide a presentation it would be terrific!

I am including a list of potential questions or topics that members have suggested as being particularly interesting.

I'm also open to any suggestions for more formal presentations by our members. As I mentioned in our first meeting, I have a small stipend available for anyone who is interested in providing a PPT presentation and leading a discussion. Ideally this individual would act as the SME for the evening.

In the meantime, I thought you might be interested in this:

Hello Everyone!

Our meeting this past Wednesday was terrific. I really find the level of enthusiasm in this group contagious.

Last night?s Web Analytics Meetup was particularly enlightening. With 26 attendees it was our largest turnout yet. We currently have over 105 members in the group which seems to keep growing daily.

The evening began with some casual networking and pizza. We then moved on to some formal introductions and segued into a brief AQUENT commercial about current job openings after which we collected business cards for a $50.00 i-Tunes Gift Card Giveaway.

Jonathan Dingman then provided an excellent PPT about Paid Links that ignited a very spirited discussion. Thank you, Jonathan!

Anyone else who would be interested in spearheading a topic please let me know ASAP. Next month we are rescheduling our normal Wednesday time to Tuesday. We are also moving it up a week. So please note that we are meeting on Tuesday December 4th at 7PM.

Once again, our goal is to try to make these events relevant for those attending. As we move into 2008, we will be alternating our discussion formats with more opportunities for general networking. As always I will also be happy to entertain ideas for improving our monthly Meetups.

Thank you for continuing to make our Web Analytics Meetup so successful. See you on December 4th!

Regards,

Bill Bush

Hello!

This will be our first meeting. We will have refreshments and light snacks. It will be a chance to get acquainted, make some introductions and develop an agenda for future gatherings. Also, we can discuss who will be attending this summit:

http://www.shop.org/summit07/ :)

I will also have some information about when Eric Peterson will be joining us for a Meet & Greet in the fall.

I would be happy to field any ideas or questions you might have regarding our future plans!

Best Regards,

Bill Bush
