Introducing: Web Analytics Wednesday

I recently found a nifty site with live events all over the world. These are more like 'meetups' rather than Seminars. They do have a 'Web Analytics' theme so I thought they would be good here for you. All times must be local, I can't imagine them being otherwise...

Here's what's going on THIS week and NEXT week [As you can see, these aren't restricted to Wednesdays only. You can start something of your own, in your area. Who knows who you might meet!]:

If you're anything at all like me, you sit a lot at home in front of your computer and the 'wallpaper' green hills start looking good...! IT'S A SIGN! It's time to Get Out and see the world. You'll enjoy people more after these sessions. You'll smell different odors and see different sights.
