"I was surprised how easy it was to get a WAW going sniffed out a couple of people who were in Columbus from the webanalytics Yahoo! group, and a month later we had our first one! Were up to a consistent dozen attendees, with the promise of steady growth going forward. Ive not only learned useful web analytics tips at every one, but Ive met some neat people!"
"Terrific experience. Networking with other practitioners was enjoyable. I appreciated the 10 Predictions and Erics generous time"
"Informative and thought provoking plus a good chance to meet others with similar interests and learn from them as well!"
"An excellent and thought-provoking presentation from one of the most respected names in web analytics. Eric captivated the audience for the duration of his address and the subsequent question and answer session threw up even more useful information for web analytics practitioners from around the UK who were in attendance."
"With only four people attending, the 3/19/08 Sacramento WAW was excellent conversation all around. After that getogether, I dont think WAWs need music the thoughts were music themselves.I hope there will be more private venue WAWs. Back when information architecture was being defined, with an equally eclectic bunch, everyone got much mileage by starting off with spirited general discussions, and then with some idea of who was who splitting off to develop on particular interests."
"I attended the very first Web Analytics Wednesday in NYC and eventually became a host. From those looking to get into the industry to analytics and marketing gurus. The NYC event is attended by the best analysts around. I am always impressed by the amount of experience and camaraderie of the group best part all feel welcome."
"I attended my first WAW while at an internet conference in Ft. Worth and I cant wait for them to come to Baltimore. Definitely a great way to get help from other analytic-focused web professionals!"
"Its comforting to know that Im not the only one struggling with tough questions regarding web analytics. This forum gave me hope that our collective talent and thought can crack the code. "
"The NYC WAW (on a thursday) was GREAT. It was fabulous to have an insightful conversation with Eric. Thanks!!!! "
