If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, here are two events you should know about:

• Web Analytics Wednesday, Herndon, VA, November 8th, hosted by Visual Sciences own Theresa Locklear. This is Theresa’s first WAW event and I’m really pushing to help her out. If you’re free, make the trip since the drinks are on Visual Sciences.
• The Web Manager’s Roundtable event, From Circus to Synchronization: Connecting the Metrics to Web Strategy and Design, Washington, D.C., December 1st, hosted by Phil Kemelor author of The Executive Guide to Web Site Measurement and Testing. I have heard good things about the D.C. Web Manager’s Roundtable events and Phil’s panel includes two Visual Sciences users.

Speaking of Phil Kemelor, if you haven’t already checked out his book (see link above) you should have a look and see if it’s for you. Full of charts, diagrams, and checklists, this book is a real “hands on” guide to web analytics.
