Introducing Google Analytics Seminars for Success

Since 2006, AdWords has been offering Seminars for Success in cities across the country to very positive reviews. Delivered by industry professionals hand-picked by Google, the seminars are one day courses offered solely to help advertisers get the most out of AdWords.

Now, as recently announced on the Inside AdWords blog, we're joining AdWords in offering Google Analytics Seminars for Success. Similar to the AdWords seminars, these are led by the most knowledgeable professionals from our very own Google Analytics Authorized Consultant program, with an agenda and content created by both the seminar leaders and our own Google Analytics team. The first seminars are now open for registration and are beginning on March 25 in both San Francisco and Raleigh-Durham.

We'll be offering two different levels of Analytics Seminars:
