So far the classes offered have been fantastic and full of good, USEFUL information. We're through five one hour webinars as I write this, and there has not been one yet that I didn't get at least one thing I could start using immediately out of it.

Live tweeting during the presentations via twitter.com using the hashtag #imu has been an excellent opportunity for meeting new people and expanding networking potential with other marketers. Check out all the chatter at search.twitter.com and search #IMU

Huge kudos to Hubspot (hubspot.com) for providing us with such a unique quality experience. Highly recommend!
