Web Casting Couch

No, there isn't really such a thing.

So if anyone offers you a trip on one, beware.

But on the subject of Webcasts, Aquent has two upcoming ones you may be interested in:

Is your marketing department addicted to spreadsheets? Overwhelming majorities are admitting that the answer is yes. While Excel spreadsheets are the preferred choice to segment, merge, and analyze marketing data, Excel was not designed as a data management tool. In this free and informative Aquent/AMA webcast, Dan Neff, president of Aquent’s IT Solutions, will illustrate how conflicting marketing data is more often the result of a process problem, not a technology gap. Neff will also provide practical examples for working your way out of a spreadsheet nightmare so you can improve your marketing efficiency.

It's on Thursday, May 29th at 10am (PDT) and absolutely free, as usual.
