Hi Brian,

Thanks for the feedback.  Let me try to answer your questions.

1) Thank you for bringing to our attention that the webinars are not listed in our events section.  I will forward this information on to the appropriate people.  I believe this is just an oversight.

2) The webinars are typically announced before hand in a number of locations. 

• At the top of our homepage as a general announcement
• In the ModernAnalyst.com LinkedIn group.  This is an easy way to get quick updates about ModernAnalyst.com if you are a member of LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/groups
• In the ModernAnalyst.com Facebook group.  Again, this is another easy way to get quick updates if you use Facebook. www.facebook.com/group.php
• In the Modern Analyst Monthly eJournal which is delivered to the email you've provided.
• On occasion we send out a Modern Analyst Announcments email that lists upcoming webinars.

3) At the moment Modern Analyst has found that 10am Pacific Time (1pm Eastern Time) works well for the US audience, which also incorporates timezones for North and South America in general. This also provides Europe and portions of Africa the ability to join in the evening hours after work.  To date, our sponsors have been U.S. based, so they aren't available to provide the live webinar at other times.  While current constraints prevent us from offering webinars at times that are covenient for others outside of these areas, we record all webinars and post them on ModernAnalyst.com for anyone to view On-Demand at a time that is convenient for them.  You can find the recorded webinars under "Webinars" on the top navigation menu.  www.modernanalyst.com/Webinars/tabid/207/Default.aspx

4) The webinars are sponsored by a number of different companies.  While the sponsors tend to highlight a particular tool or service that they offer, we encourage them to provide information which is valuable to Business Analyst more broadly.  They will often finish the webinar with a demonstration of their tool or service as one potential way of supporting a particular business analysis need or as a way to solve a particular problem.  Your contact information is only made available to sponsors of webinars that you sign up for.

I hope you found this information helpful.  Thanks again for your feedback.
