On Tuesday 11/10 (3-4.30pm) EpikOne (the people who invented analytics for Google) will cover the basics of how to measure your on-line audience and improve the value of your website. Sign up today for the Vermont Interactive TV location nearest you ( Bennington, Brattleboro, Johnson, Lyndonville, Montpelier, Newport, Rutland, Waterbury ,White River Junction and Williston).
