Prior Events

Mercator Advisory Group’s ongoing Webinars and teleconferences offer a sampling of findings from our extended research.

The intention of these events is to alert our members to work that has been completed to trigger more detailed one-on-one discussions concerning specific strategies and intiatives; and allows non-members to see (at a high-level) some of our areas of focus for research.

Below is a library of past Webinars and teleconference (slides).

Mercator Advisory Group is now using WebEx to pesent and record these virtual events. Members can simply log-in and download a file that allows access to replays of our Webinars and obtain slide pesentations from past teleconferences.  

Non-members can now purchase replays of our Webinars for $250. Simply click on the listed Webinar and you will be directed to our purchase form. A link and passcode will be E-mailed to you upon your completed purchase.

As always, we would be delighted to schedul calls/meetings with our membership clients to delve deeper into any payments-related topic.
