I attended a Web Analytics Wednesday (WAW) event in Cambridge, MA last night.  WAWs are informal monthly get-togethers that happen in cities globally.  They are for anyone interested in web analytics.  Participants range from full-time web analysts to web analytics vendors to interactive agencies.  They provide a great place to network and learn about what’s going on in the industry.  Aside from generously picking up the tab for drinks and appetizers, the event sponsor usually gives a brief presentation and donates prizes like web analytics books or gadgets.  I have attended several of these events and thoroughly enjoy them.  I’ve even won some of the prizes!

The reason I bring up these wonderful events is that I would like to begin hosting them in Modesto, CA.  It is likely that my new employer, Unica Corporation, will sponsor the first WAW in Modesto.  I am interested if other companies would be interested in sponsoring future events.

The most important part of this post is right here.  In order to make this a success, I need to know if you are interested in participating.  If so, please express your interest below.  My plan is to hold the first event in August.  In the near future, I will begin marketing this event through the valley.  I will also provide a free registration link at some point.
